Test drove the 2013 Nismo

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

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

@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

thats understandable

i got lucky cause where i went to get my nismo, they were right by the 67 near some of the really fun parts as well and the sales man let me open both cars up there and i just had a blast with the nismo, the touring/sport was fun but i really enjoyed the nismo personally

you should give it another shot and see if CHP is there lol




there is no need for a GTR Z(370Z-R??)
the GTM Stage 1 TT kit will make the 370z a GTR killer(stock GTR)

EDIT
here is a video of 2 TT 370zs eating 2 modded GTRs

it wouldnt be a Z if it had AWD now would it?(well a real Z imo) and as far as a built in computer goes, an OBD2 bluetooth adapter and an android tablet installed in the dash with the torque app can cover that....
