For me that was what sold me on the 370z Touring/Sports w/Nav in the 2008 aside from the fact that it drives great, it felt like a ~$40K car IMO. These stuff are Standard on a lot of cars, you can get all this in other cheaper Nissan models.
you also have to remember that this isnt just a 40K car its a sports car, so some of those features are not top priority when building one.

I wish Nissan trickled down some stuff to the Nismo that they learned from designing the Nismo 370z RC....albeit without the roll cage.

Well it's all tradeoffs, and some of those RC features wouldn't sell well to a typical "sportscar" (read: I'm in it for the looks) buyer, and/or would raise the price significantly.

A few pics of 2013 here.

The only difference in looks for the nismo is the darker wheels the red brake calipers and the bose shark fin antenna on the roof.

Yeah what sold me on the base Z with sport package was that on most other cars I have to get all the bells and whistles. To me it's just more weight and more stuff to break. Honestly I like wind-up windows more than electric ones and can't stand power (read: slow) seats. Different strokes for different folks but we both landed on the same car!

So I got tired of not seeing many real 2013 photos in colors other than white. Went to Car.com and picked up some photos from dealers websites. I like the base wheels better than the sport wheels......I think they have more pop, but then I am old school. My third new car was a green 240z in 1972. How many of you were born then? Like I said, old school. Looking for a 2012 silver base manual with sport pkg.

Yea I do not like those new wheels. They just look off or not symmetrical with that angled design. Idk. Just me.

Anyone test drive the 2013 Sport for new suspension upgrades?

Wonder how the Swift springs will handle/ride with the new 2013 Euro-Sport Tuned shocks, available as an optional accessory upgrade for the 2013 model.

I am considering them over aftermarket shocks currently available because the price of a set of Koni Yellows is at $1000. Plus roughly $500 for Swifts totaling $1500, now it's almost at the price of a good set of coil overs.

OEM (2009) shocks run $500, that is half the price of Koni's. Euro-Sport Tuned shocks, I am guessing will be somewhere between $500-700 tops. It will be interesting to see who will be the first to pull the trigger on this combo.

New swifts are 325 from vendors here. I would also like to know about the 2013 shocks.

Yeh..325 sounds about right. Could not remember it was so long ago when purchased from forum vendor. Things add up pretty fast when buying for two.
