Nismo = cheese-mo

This discussion aint about that. This is the second post thats trying to hint at hate etc. This is more about disappointment than hate. I guess nowadays you have to like and agree with everything or else you are a hater

Most of us just wanted something more. How can you blame us after 2 tests showing the 370 Nismo Z isnt any faster than the regular Z and Nissan didnt give it an oil cooler at that. Will wait for further testing to be fair but so far it doesnt look like money well spent from a performance to dollar standpoint. Thats basically the ax I have to grind with Nissan. The car deserved to be more than it is imho. This isnt a knock at anyone that has purchased one at all. Congrats. Im just voicing my opinion NOT hate.

I don't hate the Nismo, I just agree with most of the posters here that the additional money doesn't justify what you get...... our opinion, not meant to dis anybody that buys the car. I actually like the wheels and front bumper, don't care for the rear spoiler..... but styling is very subjective.

It was mentioned about the "sum of the parts working together in harmony", to create the level of performance the Nismo attains. This is certainly true, however, most of the members here are seasoned car enthusiasts, and IMO, are pretty capable of picking aftermarket suspension parts along with HFC, exhaust, intakes, etc, that will work together very well. There are some impressive "tuners' on this site that I learn a lot from. I am sure the Nismo fills a niche however for those that don't do much aftermarket work, nor care to come to a great place like this to learn.
