Looks is way subjective, that's why at meets no two cars are alike

When I bought my car I definitely didn't want the nismo but something about the 2013 makes me kinda want one.

IF you are modded pretty decently, then your car very well may be more powerful than a nismo. secondly, the srm takes some getting used to, the way u let the clutch out on the downshifts will determine how smooth it is.third, its the same clutch as your car, so the difference in peddle feel MAY (?) be attributed to the lsd (doubtful).

sport, touring is the way to go imo. i like the nismos, but also like me some creature comforts inside

Nissan isn't known to make the best feeling nor the most consistent transmission manuals out there. Nissan has always made hit or miss manuals, so maybe this is why he doesn't like the NISMO manual.

the clutch pedal in my 04 G feels heavy, but i get better feedback. when i removed the helper spring in my 09 Z, it made a world of difference. then got a century spring(?) locally from some guy selling it. it feels a lot better than stock. not quite as good as the G's, but the gearbox feels a lot better in the Z. :)

SRM works best when braking moderatly to hard. if one's braking lightly, you can either clutch-out slower or give it a tap of blip to ensure smooth engagement.

I for one have grown to like the Nismo. I'll admit I didn't like it at first, but it does have a sleek and sportier look. It might be better than the "cat fish" remark everyone else gets. Whatever floats your boat.

I love manual transmission cars, but I have to admit that I wish I got the Z's impressive auto system instead of their jerky 6MT. Oh and you can turn off SRM. I for one love that system.

there is a world of difference between the Zs automatic and 6mt. I might cross back over to an automatic...not sure though

Nismos are the ****, yeah the stock Z's look just as good, but then again the nismos add that extra :yum:

i got my nismo because i loved the way it looks LOL XD

@OP
i feel you wernt given a proper test drive, instead of taking it out on the freeway, see if there is a back road near by and open up the nismo there, from what i have noticed, the nismo and base/touring 370z feel the same when pulling in a straight line but when you get in the corners, the nismo has neutral handling(in my experience driving it) while the base/touring has a tad bit of understeer(not much but enough for me to notice it)

sure ride is rough but seriously who buys a car like this and expects it to be soft and quite

:iagree: plus ur biased. :roflpuke2:

fixed.... :icon17:

Unfortunate you didn't enjoy the MT. I personally love mine, especially srm but I don't have nearly as many issues driving the Z's mt as others it seems. Pretty sure manual is a dying breed.

Haha true. But I am trying to be neutral here.

Coming from a non Nismo owner, I think the Nismo looks awesome!
Imagine a Nismo rs with the GTR's transmission.. :yum:

Imagine a Nismo RS with the GTR's engine. :yum:
