Sold my 2010 PG Nismo

DVSkier · 10-19-2012, 10:01 PM

I finally decided to sell my 2010 Nismo. I have enjoyed the forum and the help I have received since I joined. I decided to buy a 2007 Porsche Carrera 4s and I am totally in love with it. Here are a couple of pics of my new Porsche. I put a couple of parts in the classifieds that are in great condition if anybody needs a sub, box,or tires. Thanks again.

The 10 posts you've made over the last 2 years have truly moved me. The forum won't be the same without you. lol

Sorry... couldn't resist.

The Porsche looks absolutely amazing! Congrats man! That's a sweet ride!

I was just kidding around. I blame it on my 5th beer in an hour.

I'm too drunk to find it

I've done a few things to it since I picked it up. Full detail, new clear bra on the front, full hood, front fenders, windshield pillars, leading edge of the roof, behind the front wheels, behind the rear wheels, and the front of the rear fenders. I also tinted the rear and side windows at 30% and the windshield at 60%. I plan on getting some new wheels over the winter along with some new Michelin Super Sports along with a new sound system. I have lots of plans for this car but it will take a while to get it all done.

Oh man great looking 997! Love the *** on that wide body. Not posting any driving impressions?

Mr&Mrs · 10-19-2012, 10:53 PM

Sounds good I will hang around to see pics when it happens

Ok, here are my driving impressions on the Porsche vs the Nismo. My Nismo was a lot of fun. I ran Michelin Super Sport 305's on rear and 275's on the front. It really woke up the handling on the car. When I first got my Porsche I was amazed at the difference in acceleration. Nissan claims 350 hp and Porsche claims 355 hp. All I have to say is somebody is lying, it is the most powerful extra 5 hp I have ever had! As far as the handling goes I loved the way the Nismo handled. It was very predictable and easy to drive fast in the twistys. The porsche has more feedback in the steering, it feels like your steering wheel has a direct connection with the tires. That being said the Nismo is more forgiving if you get surprised coming aroung a corner. The Porsche has to be driven deliberately or you will be punished for it, you need to have your apex planned so you keep the balance of the car correct, it's a more involving experience. The Porsche pulls so much harder out of the corners it blows you away. The Nismo was more about holding cornering speed and the Porsche corners just as fast but comes out of the corner so much harder. You also need to get on the throttle earlier in the turn so the balance is right. I can't wait until I get some Super Sports on the Porsche, it still has the original tires and i'm waiting to wear them out. The sound system on the Porsche is much better than the Nismo, the instruments have an intuitive placement and the heating and cooling are much quicker to respond. Don't get me wrong, I liked my Nismo but I can see where the difference in price comes from. One more thing, I can actually see out of the rear window and the blind spots are almost non existent on the Porsche. If you ever get a chance you owe it to yourself to try one out.
