My impressions match yours with the NISMO 370z I drove. Mine was stiffer, and handled better over it when I drove one. Was not impressed. I went in expecting to be impressed though and was sad I wasn't.

Thank you - that's at least 2 people who see what I'm saying. Not that it's a poll!

If Nissan get objective customer feedback it helps them to improve, which is what they want.


nogoodname - with respect, what is the basis for your assertion?

This I agree with. I've driven both the Nismo 350 and 370 for an extended period of time and the 350 just felt more raw by comparison as if it was setup for the track. I loved the car but wasn't willing to deal with it's appearance.

The Nismo 370 is much more tame in the styling department, but I felt like it's lacking the Nismo treatment which was very apparent in the 350. It's more of an appearance package this time around. That raw factor is gone.

As a result, it turned out to be a no go on both occasions. Sometimes you just can't win....I think a base model may be in the works for me but not until the 2nd year model arrives.

I wonder if the "poor" handling was a result of the high tire pressure issue that some of us have had. My tires were ~10psi high when I took delivery. As you would expect, it had a big effect on handling.
