holy ****, ouch.

The NISMO 370Z exists only to make people's heads explode.

By the looks of this thread, I'd say my money has been well spent. :)

That's a GTR I wana see a 370z base + sports vs Nismo.

:icon18: Good one Dreamer haha.. I love my nismo, I could add leather, nav and better sound to mine and still would have paid significally less than the 48k the OP paid for his touring. Just saying:rolleyes:

I am also tired.

BAHAHAHA! :icon18:

+1 You took the words right out of my mouth.

Dont let anyone take things out of your mouth. That is unsanitary.:shakes head:

:icon18:

Still a nismo... :icon17:

Perfect answer. :stirthepot:

someone please educate me, why did I bother to open this thread?

So you could read this:

How many dead hookers does it take to fill the trunk of a Z?

I don't know, but the engine's running and someone called the cops. Let's GO!

:icon18:Lol!!:roflpuke2:

:tiphat:

This Guy is making himself look bad haha

As if I care what you think......chucklehead.......

Has it been "wind tunnel" tested? I highly doubt it!

:icon18:

You say your not hating on Nismos but I think you are. A Nismo is better than a base, just like the sport touring is better than the base, like the 40th is better than a base. Hence the term base. A starting point. But I am pretty sure that YOUR car is better than any trim level 370Z that is offered. $70k wow. I would like to dump $20k into my Nis but at that point I would spend just a little more and get the GTR or buy a DD. And who is going around bragging or saying a Nismo is better........ I see a bunch of threads from non nismo owners always saying that its not.

$48K? I have the same car as you, sans the navi, and I'm thinking that the MSRP was a couple dollars shy of $40K. Did you pay a premium?

I would trust Nissan a bit on this as they have provided the numbers for it when the car was released. Was it 'officially' wind tested, who knows.

What I would like is a solid flat(as much as possible)under carriage. To eliminate drag,I "think" the GTR has this. Sorry totally off topic.

Ok.....I wil try not to insult you......BUT....as I said.....I BOUGHT THE CAR THE FIRST DAY THE 370 CAME OUT........NO ONE WAS COMING OFF STICKER THEN, I did not.....DID NOT....pay a premium.....but I am guessing there are a few optionss I have that you do not.....lighted kick plates.....splash guards, etc.......Also keep in mind that the 7AT tranny was a big add on the price as well.

The STICKER WAS ALMOST 46K and I will be happy to scan it if you still are not clear.

They should give discounts for 7AT Zs hehe

Please don't insult me ;) but as I said before, my car is EXACTLY like yours (except for nav).

I'll try not to insult you by telling you how much I paid for your car.

They 7AT is actually a pretty sick trans. Nissan has done a good job with their autos.

Nissan automatics have an excellent record, that's one thing they can build right.

:rofl2:
Wow, OP getting all mad people are laughing at the price he paid. Just for some info OP, some of the first members bought their Z at invoice the first day. You got scammed.

^ no doubt about that. I'm just against autos on sports cars. Takes away from the driving experience imo

Did I read that right, 48k for a 370!

depends a lot on location though, and willingness to spend time searching for a deal. For a lot of people, it's better to overpay than to waste a week looking for a price that is a couple k's cheaper.

That said, I'm pretty sure he could have gotten his wheels cheaper without too much extra effort, but it's hard to say for sure.

I feel ya, everything I've owned has been a manual, from my first accord, to my Jeep. That said, I almost considered getting the Z in auto simply because it is such a nice transmission, and the manual on the Z isn't exactly the greatest transmission option out there, in terms of quality as well as feel.

In the end, the love of rowing won out, but only by a little.

That is what the OP said.....
Was not even aware the price went that high, I even shopped fully loaded and was never given a price over 38.

I love rowing won out from time to time, myself. :tiphat:

I think for a coupe MSRP goes up to around 43k. Maybe he got some factory options or something. Or maybe it's a slight exaggeration.

Yep, i've always had manuals too. If I ever get an auto it would be one of those double clutch shift before you blink autos lol. Anyway, to keep this on topic.. I saw a really nice shelby gt500 for 48k

A few things: I live in Chattanooga TN and there are only 2 Nissan dealers here. On the day the 370z came out, there were only 3 of them in the whole town for sale. 2 were 6MTs and I wanted a 7AT. Because they knew they had a corner on the 370z market (at that moment) they were not coming off the sticker.

Most of my sports cars have been manuals through my life, but in 2007 I was hit by a drunk driver and spent 7 months in the hospital. I had severe brain injuries and also was permanantly blinded in one eye. You might be thinking "well you still have one eye" and I do, but the eye I lost was my dominant eye. While I can still see, I can no longer shoot pool, or a gun accurately. For THIS REASON, I decided an auto might be better for now.

I am not bragging on my car or dissing the Nismo. Money is not an issue for me and if I wanted a Nismo, I would just go buy one (or a GTR for that matter). The truth is, I LIKE THE 370! I personally dont like body kits and thats what the Nismo looks like to me. If I were tracking my car I might....MIGHT...consider aero enhancements, but I am not. I plan on running a few 1/4 miles and local driving and thats it.

So, I have what I have and you have what you have....end of story.

sorry to hear about your eye, but you still have a driver's license with no depth perception?

I dont really have depth perception issues but my periphial vision is not that great. I dont drive as much as I once did and I dont drive at night (oncoming cars headlights nearly blind me).

My judgement may be off a little as my brain is still adjusting to using my non dominant eye. I am actually more cautious now because I sense/know my limitations.
