After that, I put over $20K in mods: GTM stage 2 twin turbo, many cooling mods, greddy tiC turbo exhaust, and VIS carbon fiber hood. After MANY Osiris tuning sessions @ Z1, I am putting down about 500 whp and 388 tq. The car runs great!

Now, someone....NICELY....tell me WHAT a Nismo has that I dont have? Except for the body kit (which DOES NOT improve performance), what does it have that is better than a loaded 370z?

I AM NOT HATING ON NISMOS......please dont go there. I think the Nismo looks good to some, its just not what I want.

I have said to some before that I wish the Nismo WAS to the 370 what the ZR1 is to the vette.....but it is not. If it was, I would have one.

So, without hate, someone educate me!

Thanks,
Blue

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.
