The 370Z is a great little sports car no matter how much you paid for it and no matter how much 10s of thousands of dollars you do or don't put into it.

In those conditions I think ur right, only 3 cars in town and just one AT, dealer could have asked for whatever they wanted. Don't take this the wrong way and Im sorry to hear what happened to u (fvckng drunl drivers), but are u not afraid taking that TT down the dragstrip with ur condition? I would be LOL

**queue star trek the next generation theme** I searched for hours on the internet and through some connections I have with Nissan, I came to find out, that the Nismo was actually hand built in a germ free enviorment by Unicorns in Atlantis...then they slaughter these same Unicorns and use thier blood as the "break in" Oil...and THIS accounts for the extra 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 extra rear wheel horsepowersssss


thought i would share my discoveries on the other Nismo thread

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
Nismo=Your paying for Nismo parts and items that are labeled Nismo(bfd)! You can get equivalent parts for a 370 on the market "cheaper".

Not if you got the car used at a great price.

Have some of you guys seen the turbo thread where a guy had a nismo and a regular 370z. Both had greddy turbo kits put on and the nismo still made more power with the same build. If I remember correctly it was a bit more than 30whp difference. There is a video of it on youtube somewhere.

EDIT: NVM it was more than 40whp difference

Yes, it is a shop called AAM and in the thread they also said the Nismo is running more boost as the non-Nismo owner wanted to keep it as a 'light' build.
