Educate me....cause I am tired!

Blue370tt · 01-23-2011, 04:41 PM

When I bought my 370z, I got EVERY option that was offered: Sport/touring with nav and 7AT.....out the door tax and all was about $48K. I bought it the day they came out so NO ONE was coming off sticker.

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

What is the point of this thread? Another base/touring vs nismo? This really isn't going to go anywhere. If you really want to debate about this just go to the nismo section and you can read about it all day because you will get the same responses here.

Nismo has different body pieces, a red accented manifold cover and different wheels/tires.

But yeah what's the point of asking the questions?

Just tired of people thinking the Nismo is better.....making sure I didnt miss anything.

They have nice stitching on the seats. Seriously, your car is better than a Nismo.

useless thread. waste of bandwidth.

Red__Zed · 01-23-2011, 05:24 PM

Who thinks the nismo is better???

The ZR1 is roughly double the price of a regular corvette. For the price you get near supercar status.

The Nismo can be found for slightly more than a Sport model thus its upgrades are worth the money.

This issue has been seriously beat to death, how about just being happy with what you have OP and calling it a day?
