Nismo Vs. Non-Nismo

nogoodname · 08-30-2009, 11:51 PM

but the mods on the Nismo give like what...5hp....lol

exhaust, intakes do nothing but noise...... it's a waste.

buying a nismo is for sake of owning a nismo... authenticity
and the exterior upgrades.....that's it.

Don't buy a Nismo get a base + sport or a touring + sport you will be better off. Nismos are slower and uglier than the original 370Z.

The Nismo front bumper adds 6 inches to the total length of the car. As if the car wasn't long enough already.

Not worth the money unless all you are looking for is "bragging rights of owning a Nismo"!
It's a shame but Nissan dropped the ball on this one.Of course it is a good marketing gig for them as many of there parts are.I also question the 18hp they rate there performance exhaust at?Seriously doubt that there as good as some aftermarket set ups?
I always believed the Japs were on top of there game but maybe they have picked up on how easy we are in america!We are easy game for gimmicks and with the issues of the 370 and now the Nismo I believe they have caught on to us!
I must say the Gismo or should I say the Nismo is a good looking car but way over priced.

2010 offers more hp...and I don't think it's a waste:

First Drive: 2010 Nissan 370Z Nismo simply rocks — Autoblog

Meet the 2010 Nissan 370Z Nismo, far and away the best Z ever. This is the car enthusiasts have been hoping for ever since we learned that Nissan would be chopping four inches out of the Z's wheelbase and bumping the displacement by 0.2-liters over the outgoing 350Z. But the Nismo's even more than that. Really, the Nismo is the sports car the 370Z should have been right out of the box, but for various reasons isn't. One of those being that marketers have to hit their price points. Meaning that if the Z's competition (i.e. Mustang GT) sells for less than $30,000, Nissan has to sell something just as cheaply. This leads to all sorts of ironies, like oil coolers, big brakes and LSDs being options on supposed "sports cars." But the other reason is that the Nismo isn't for everyone. In fact, you probably wouldn't like it. Us? We love it.

Before we get to why we're so smitten, let's talk about what $40,000 gets you. On the outside you get a new, low-riding front clip that's missing the fish-fangs, a Porsche GT3-look spoiler, rear brake vents and 19-inch forged Nismo wheels. Inside, you get aggressive-look red stitching and cloth (hurray!) Nismo seats that are devoid of power adjustments. Trust us, you'll live. There's also a Nismo plaque on the door sill. So far, no big deal, but underneath is where the real magic happens. Thanks to an ECU re-flash and thicker-diameter H-pipe exhausts (as opposed to the X-pipe in the standard), the Nismo makes 18 more horsepower (for a total of 350 hp) and 4 extra torques (276 lb-ft). The Nismo also gets all new shocks, springs and sway bars, plus an LSD, lots of coolers and upgraded brakes. Add it all up and the sum is flippin' spectacular.

I think you guys are missing the point. This is the first time a Nismo was introduced at the beginning of a new model. They are going to get all the suckers to get the lame Nismo version and then in about 2 or 3yrs they will put out a monster version of the Nismo. Nissan plan is a genius. Lol. By the way, I was just at the dealer to get touch-up paint and I saw a Nismo in the same color as my car (silver). I had liked the way it looked in photos, but in person it is ugly as hell. Imo it's too long and the bodykit is not impressive. Sport package looks the best. Exhaust did look nice though.
