New NISMO 370Z Design

imag

The more I go back and forth on the decision, the more I am thinking that I'd like to get the Nismo, but don't want that nose. For one thing, it's going to be a hassle - you can tell from looking at it that it's going to scrape on every driveway around. Likewise, I can't imagine the rear wing helps out the already-bad rear view by much.

I actually think the regular Sport is probably a more livable car, especially in Oakland, where the roads are just trashed. The thing that drives me nuts about the non-NISMOs is that the wheel offset doesn't fit the fender flares. It's inexcusable for a car like this to have such a basic screw-up. Buying spacers has the potential to screw up the handling (Nissan didn't spacer them for a reason), and buying larger wheels means paying for a sport package, then bailing on one of the more expensive components.

Bah. I almost wonder if they screwed up the wheel offset and thinned out the exhaust pipe on the regular 370 just so they could sell more high-margin NISMOs.

That nose = Lame, Soft, non-sporty, Step Backwards

The stock 370z nose with the two slant-ins in the middle are spot on...gives the car that sportier, tougher, edgier look the 350z was sorely missing. This new nismo design is great all but for that 350z nose!
