Friend trying to talk me into Z trade for Challenger

Nismoracer · 01-09-2011, 09:50 PM

There's no way you got 32mpg with your Z. You probably didn't let the comp run long enough or you caught a glimpse in mid calculation. The Nismo is a better car You know it is red and that's why you are considering it as well as the challenger. These guys just keep repeating what they saw in 1 or 2 reviews. The rest speak high praise of the Nismo. They haven't owned a Nismo and are going purely by specs and a couple reviews. They won't shut up about it and every chance they get they say the Nismo is not worth it. I'm surprised they aren't telling you to get the base challenger and with all the money you save to add on bolt on this and that. Don't listen to them. Find out for yourself, take time with both cars. And if your back is a problem don't deal with it in a way that will be a discomfort. I think I know which way you want to go and if you do you will not regret it. Just take your time. And it is a very rare car that you won't see all the time.

It all comes down to looks, because performance is identical. Do you want a Sport Z with a body kit or do you want a Sport Z with the Touring package? Whichever one you choose they are going to go all the same.

I didn't want the NISMO because of the lack of options I wanted. Leather and gps

But, but... it's better in every way.

It's a $10k body kit.

This has been discussed numerous amounts of times and it won't matter what evidence I point out. You will just deny it and say you can get better parts for the $$$. Yeah WE KNOW that. What you don't seem to understand is that for the money it is pretty cool set up. And it ain't a $10k body kit. You can get this you can get that.......... Read every review on the Nismo they all say it's better than a standard Z. Slightly, don't freak out, it's not a huge 100hp difference or 2 whole sec faster in the quarter mile....... It's more than just a body kit. It's been discussed over and over and over and you guys are the type that need justification for your $$$ spent, understand that. The Nismo is not for you yes we get it. But yeah just read the specs if you think it's the same, you know how to read right. Your basing it on a performance difference and not an overall driving experience and your gonna need to drive it more than 5 min to appreciate it.

Why so serious?

Nismoracer · 01-10-2011, 12:01 AM

Hmm if you took it serious...... apologies not meant to be.

Lemers · 01-10-2011, 12:04 AM

It was a novel. A lot a thought put into that reply.

Nismoracer · 01-10-2011, 12:08 AM

Really? I didn't think it was that long. Just a couple lines.

Well O.P. good luck with the choices. You can't go wrong with either one, it's just what you want more.
