Nismo 370Z is officially out!

Aside from the body package and seat stitching, you're not getting much. The Nismo CBE doesn't give as much HP gain as the Stillen...I'd pass on this. Not to mention

As Joe Rogan from UFC often says: I concur

I think car & driver or one of those mainstream mag's said that the Nismo 370 is "import tuner" looking, euphemistic for riced-out.

The nose is too long, the side skirts look like running boards for a conversion van, the wing sits too high and rear bumper has those 80's body kit slits. I don't care that it has function to them, it's too gaudy looking.

They should've added a turbo or supercharged the damn thing, or maybe an Infiniti 4.5 v-8!...oh yeah, with the upgraded oil cooler

I agree too.

I wanted my 370z more hardcore than the Nismo. I cant imaging paying the premium on a Nismo, then go put intakes, exhaust, coilovers, etc on it, then look back and say, "wow, it would be nice to have leather interior, power seats and a nav system. "

I love the styling of the 370z. It's sexy and classy. The Nismo? Not so much. As others have said, the nose is too long and the wing is too big. I even like the sport model Rays wheels better than the Nismo ones.
