I do think the Nismo 350 had more going for it than the 370 Version does. But do you think the Nismo 350 is faster than the Nismo 370 on a track? After all, they were designed by the same people with the same purpose. |

^^^^^^6That is my thinking too. |
Most people who will be buying this version will not be bringing it to the track, and this is a fact. Putting that into consideration, in the long run it is safe to say that even though the factory-installed bodykit for the Nismo-tuned 370Z provides additional downforce and aerodynamics, it's still just an appearance package and a rather poor attempt at it. In short, the 10k markup is unjustifiable on Nissan's part because if you factor things in, you're only getting 20 or so hp for that additional dough.

... so many haters... man... its like the evo 9 guys bitching about how shitty the evo X is gonna be even before they could test it... give the nismo time... I guarantee you that its faster around a track than the base + sport... and no matter what you say - that long-nose is sexy as all hell... you just havnt gotten used to it...

It seems that quite a few of those complaining don't even own a "Z" let alone a 370 yet they seem to be experts in what Nissan should offer for the money...what's wrong with this picture???
I don't know of any cars at any price that can't be "improved" (however each person defines improvement)...I can understand that many people don't like how the Nismo 370 looks (I don't like the looks all the much myself) but so what...for every person that loves the looks of any particular vehicle I guarantee you that I can find at least one who hates it! Maybe I'm wrong but I really find all the bashing (and the motivation behind it) a bit suspect. |
you purchasing a name. just like with nike, adidas, etc.

Bashing isnt suspect... people are posting facts to back up their opinion. In the end its still just their opinion.
Doesn't it bother you that Nissan could have very easily just as well have called it the "track" trim of the car, like the 350Z had a "track" trim? It would have made more sense with the level of upgrades that it got. and everyone knows a modified anything can be faster than an unmodified something else... thats not the argument here. The argument is whether the upgrades are worth the price charged for them. As in... "Could I do better with $10k in aftermarket parts?" I think the answer is yes... |
hmmm good points being made in this thread, but it will never happend :) to me its like the Shelby KR.... do you really want to pay that much more for something you can yourself?
|
I think my biggest gripe with the 370 Nismo is the fact that being oriented towards track use, they blatantly did not install an oil cooler. What kind of slap in the face is that? A track car that will overheat after 3-4 laps and they knew this was going to be an issue from day 1? I think the overall package isnt bad for high 30's, but compared to other track offerings from different manufacturers, this is unacceptable.
