Nismo 370Z is officially out!

batman_4 · 06-21-2009, 09:06 PM

i'm happy i didn't wait for the Nismo version....disappointment in my book. they over did the red stitching on the inside to the point where it looks ricey and the rear wing...meh

I don't get this thread though.

juan05 · 06-21-2009, 10:18 PM

personally i need to see the nismo in black.

Roo · 06-21-2009, 10:52 PM

So let me get this right, you buy the most expensive version and you get LESS options?

Yup, supposedly... You will spend 40K but you won't enjoy it as you'd like on the track.

I'm talking about value for the dollar you spent. Sure it can run x.xx track lap time, but all that won't matter when your oil temp is excessively high and electronically limited (factory safety measure). It is advertised as "track oriented". And from factory... no doubt that it is... but only for certain amount of time on the race track.

^ Correct sir.

Roo · 06-21-2009, 11:09 PM

Well you need navigation to get directions to the track!

frost · 06-21-2009, 11:12 PM

In my humblest of opinions, if they want to do a track model, it should be balls out like that recent dodge challenger.
Give a crazy stripped down track version with none of the amenities, make it super lightweight, and throw some added power.

Disappointed with the reviews so far

I really think Nissan should have given this car a bit more power. An intake, an aggressive tune and revised exhaust should have netted about 370 - 380hp at the crank. Oh, and and oil cooler

That way when it was tested against the base or the touring it would actually post some better performance figures. The one thing that I really like about the Nismo 370z is the exclusivity, but I'm not willing to spend that much and give up factory Nav & Persimon leather for something that wont really out perform. Hopefully they do something better next year, otherwise I'm keeping my touring.

I saw up close yesterday @ Nissan HQ in Costa mesa, CA. I gave it the benefit of the doubt in thinking the pics didn't do the car justice...But uhh, I wasn't impressed.

Nismo 370=Zojirushi and Nissan collaboration.

Just saw one today. Got a call from the dealer and they said to come check it out. Looks as good in pics to me but nothing crazy about it. About the only thing I was excited about were the wheels. Definetly going to get a set of those to put on my Z.

Easy fellas on the "my Z is faster than the Nismo" based on ONE road test. That's presumptuous and foolish. One test proves nothing. There has been tests of the standard 370Z 0-60 from 4.7 all the way to 5.2sec. The Nismo weighs more or less the same as the base sport but has +18hp...unless it defies physics it will be the fastest of the 370Zs. Lets wait for more reviews to judge.

With that being said, I'm happy with my touring+sport and would rather spend the extra $ to customize to my liking
