Test drove the 2013 Nismo
So I got to test drive a 2013 Nismo, very disappointed. Not what I made it out to be. Was considering upgrading from my 09 Z to a nismo and was all excited to be behind the wheel of it. Dealer was kool as hell, let me take it on the freeway and test her out Wasn't feeling it though, the rev match took away all the fun. Sometimes it was clean other times it was jumping. I know that's due to me not being use to it. Clutch was mushy as hell, way too soft for me. It actually felt as if I were down grading lol I also got to test drive an automatic sport packaged Z and that felt way cleaner and more powerful than the nismo. So for now i'm going to stick with my modded up 09 Z

Really? I like the look, it goes well with the Z design IMO

I have to admit it blew me away especially using the panel shifters

The shifting on it is WAYYYYY nicer than on my ISF, and that has lockout. The 370Z lets you do whatever whenever |

I know what you mean; I wanted a Nismo when I went shopping but couldn't handle the large spoiler (what would the neighbors think?) & rougher ride. I ended up with the base auto & love it.

And also, look is totally subjective. I love my Nismo and so I believe many others. |

I know you can turn it off and on, but since I have a base Z I wanted to drive with it on and get a feel for it. To me the clutch felt mushy. then again that's due to me being use to driving my Z. My clutch is firmer compared to the Nismo i test drove
