Nismo = cheese-mo

Good discussion.

I would have been a buyer for a $45K well prepared 370z setup from the factory for the track. But I would want it to be more like a race car that you just have to strip and cage... barely street legal, essentially how mine is now. I think a lot of the parts that have been mentioned are good, and some of them would be comparable or just a bit more for nissan to source vs the current set. In addition to what has been mentioned, I'd want it to include:

- weight transfer to rear for more like 52/48
- single mass flywheel
- 1.5 way rear diff... I'm really digging the carbonetic, very 'street-able'
- more gauge options

this kinda reminds me of the new Corvette Grand Sport coming out real soon. Its pretty much a regular C6 corvette with Z06 brakes, suspensions and wider body panels..all for around 55k..supposedly it would be the fastest car under 60k..I wished the Nismo could compete at the Grand Sport's level...even if they slapped on some cookie sized turbos like the ones on the 335i...it would make some great results!!!

Grand sport vette.
Z06 body, brakes, not sure about the suspension, i think perhaps dry sump on the stick but not auto..

the rumor is the grand sport is mostly bling too. and frankly the wide body on the z06 is nice, but the rumor is it will weigh more, be a tad slower at the strip and track..... lots o complaints about not upping the hp to at least 450 to 460..

course i think they should do away with the z06, offer the grand sport z06 option, which is the grand sport body with the cadillac cts-v detuned ls3 from the zr1..
