Test drove the 2013 Nismo

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

we tried to but there was a CHP hiding lol

ah lol

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

the sales man was gonna let me open her up so we went on a back road and sure enough sitting in a corner is a CHP lol

Ooook... It's about the whole package, not just the TT V6.

so like a computer built in and AWD?

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....

Ugh, no. Upgraded transmission (something similar to what the GTR has but rwd), differential, suspension etc. Basically all the stuff you need to support a high horse power build (on the track) but designed as a single package. Heck you could throw in the fancy computer but keep the car rwd, might be cool.

i dont get whats wrong with the 370z's manual transmission? if you are talking about the auto Z then yes i agree because torque converters suck and suspension wise i think the nismo 370z has the same handling as the GTR(only difference being the GTR is faster through corners cause of AWD)
but the diff, brakes, cooling, ect. will all have to be upgraded

anyhow though the nismo 370z is just a beast and if you are not looking for luxuries and want performance, i would get the nismo, if you are looking for luxuries like sat nav, heated seats, leather, ect. the touring/sport is the best way to go, but either way you cant go wrong when purchasing a Z
