A reworked suspension should probably allow the NISMO to accelerate very hard. This auto will be worth buying.
Expect the Z35 to feel more torquey due to boost. But also expect that 4 banger to run out of steam around 120-130mph... This Z doesn't begin to loose steam till 146mph. Even when it begins to lose steam @ 146mph. There's enough Hp to make it to the govonor quickly.That's my sport model. Maybe the extra 18 and marginally higher revs add more push to 155-160mph. These NA's hold a muscle car feel. The Z35 will feel more German-ish.

No one knows what the next model will have under the hood. I'd be a little surprised if they put a turbo 4 cyl in it, since the heart of the Z has always been a 6 cylinder. There are certain things that have to stay the same to keep it a Z.

I really am surprised they offered an auto version. Quicker or not, an auto isn't an enthusiast option. *Most* nismo buyers want a drivers car, and auto takes all the fun away. Rowing through the gears is where the fun is

I agree with you. People should get over the fact the manual does not equal enthusiast. GET OVER IT PLEASE. Paddle shifters will be for the modern day enthusiasts. A few generations and the manual will be gone. Kids with their video games will have no appetite for it when they get their license.

BTW, I have a manual and don't care if you have an auto. I just enjoy the sh!t out of my car and you do the same to yours.

As for those who don't like the 2015 Nismo, tough. It is still a nice offering from Nissan and hope they sell a lot. I am realistic and understand why they did this and not put in as much --- powerwise, drivetrain, weight, etc. These things costs money and does not make good business sense to do it in the last model before the new one comes out. If it is the last offering of this body style, then for a collector it is worth the penny. Good effort Nissan. Nice touch in building and defining your Nismo brand.

Fixed, and GTFO Raf!!! You and your elitist BS manual! Auto FTW!!!

Jk brother

But I think Nissan should've gone out with a bang, I think this model is weak sauce for the most part like most of us here seem to agree on. Finally the seats are worthy, finally it has the ability to have Nav, finally you CAN get it with the 7AT, but it's a day late and a dollar short still.
Thank god they did the 3.9 gears. But if they installed a real diff, I bet they'd sell wayyyyyy more! And if it had more power, EVEN MORE!
For the record, I don't MIND a duckbill, but this one is really tacky the way they installed it, and it looks too much like a normal sport IMO.

And I hope Nissan is still watching this thread so they can see me calling it weak again... Because it's weak...

I agree with a day late and a dollar short. But I only agree with the seats and the auto. The nav is gahbidge on a car like this. Oh, I also agree the diff should be better on a NISMO model.

But everything else subjective. I think it still looks great in spite of it being late. It would be killer with a 14 wing. In reality, that's all it needs aside from a better differential.

Does the stock NISMO sway kill the understeer found in the sport when hard cornering? I have eibach sways to correct it.
