I don't need the extras the Touring model has to offer if it was just what he had on the lot and they were trying to move it since it was a 2010.

I plan on upgrading everything anyways so the interior amenities don't mean too much to me. The only thing that I like in the Nismo is the exterior and the fact that they are limited.

If you guys read my other post when I was deciding against the 370 vs the X. I have to say my decision was based on how poor Mitsubishi's service is. I went to them earlier before Nissan and they guy was very rude and didn't even let me test drive!? I'd have to buy on the spot. The sales rep said, "would you want someone test driving and putting miles on a $40,000 car?" What a joke.

Are you a homosexual?
Has a girl ever been rude to you?

Point made.
(unless you are indeed gay, in which case, why are you still gay since by your own admission a guy was rude to you?)

Buy the car you want, not the one that just happens to be sold at one of thousands of places where others like it are sold, where a couple of people pissed in your cheerios.

The touring/sport package will be impossible to replicate unless you gut one from a wrecking yard, or just dump sick amounts of money that you will never get back, into it. I would think the cheap NISMO body kit would be MUCH easier to copy than a nice interior.

Lollol. This made me laugh. I was not venting because I was angry a sales man was rude to me. It was just to share how shitty Mitsubishi service is. I'm also on the Evo X fourms where there is a thread about how poor Mitsubishi is compared to other companies. If you are still curious about my sexuality, no I'm not gay but maybe for you if you play your cards right big boi.

Also I don't care about replicating or resale value. The car will be tracked and parts will be broken. I wouldn't want to sell it down the road. It's simply a toy not an investment. If I wanted that I'd buy a house instead.

What do you plan to replicate the Nismo kit with? Z1 sell the kit for over 5 grand. I haven't seen them cheaper.

You missed the entire gist of my post, I think. I was basically saying if one rude woman hasn't turned you gay, then one rude Mitsu salesman shouldn't turn you against the entire brand.

Jeez, $5K for that!? I am assuming you have felt the kit? It is rather...not $5K-ish in feel.

If you are going to just beat on it, why not buy a 2009 and save big?

Nissan is worse than Mitsubishi, regarding dealership satisfaction. Hell, Nissan is darn near at the very bottom.

The deal was tempting and I almost locked it in but I didn't because I am tempted to buy a Nismo edition instead.

What would you guys recommend? Would you buy a Touring + Sport and spend the cash to modify or buy a 2011 Nismo?

The only reason the Nismo appeals to me is because of the look and the fact that it is limited and I won't see many around.

Also I plan on modifying it either way because it would see some track time and the occasional drag strip.

I liked the touring/sport better than the Nismo, so I bought it. The Nismo has not fared so well in the car magazines. The Nismo look is special but you can buy an amuse kit or it's equivalent.

I read this twice and said wtf each time.

I was glad to get the explanation a few posts down.

My heads hurts from trying to read that.

I don't think the touring has that much nicer an interior than the NISMO. I mean the main difference is what leather seats and the bose radio? The look is identical to a touring but now with some red stitching. If you're talking aftermarket body kit like amuse that'll cost close to $4k painted and installed, which is more than a nice aftermarket sound system with navi. Any aftermarket system is going to be better than the bose system. So not sure why you would want to replicate that anyway.

It really depends on what the future plans of the OP are and whether he really cares about a slightly nicer interior. The NISMO is essentially a base/sport but with some slight performance upgrades and a body kit. So if you don't plan to do those mods yourself in the future, I would get the NISMO and call it a day. Otherwise, get the touring/sport and mod it later on.

I like the fact that in the Touring, you get more than 4 speakers. Leather. Heated seats. NAV. Fake suede inserts (it looks/feels nice!). It's lighter.

Don't get me wrong, the touring has a decent amount of things that most people would like, also power seats, auto dim mirror and homelink. 20 lbs lighter than the Nismo which is pretty negligible in real world conditions. Also Nav is separate from touring and the car the OP was looking at I thought didn't have nav.

OP, it's really about what you want to ultimately end up with. Adding those leather/suede accents and getting a new sound system with nav will probably cost you the same or less than an Amuse kit.

See what you want to end up with in the long run and then decide which car will get you there the cheapest. Performance wise, both will be similar with maybe a slight nudge to Nismo for better suspension mods. Either way you'll probably do performance upgrades regardless.
