if having a nismo is that special to you, that's great. but this thing about

there are parts out there that will easily make a base better than a factory built car.
that you must accept.

I have to disagree about the whole "in my head thing." The Nismo is a model...I like the Nismo that I have...I don't care for the new one...others do...some old Nismo owners call the new Nismo model an upgraded Sports/Touring....but it's still a Nismo....

Your argument that there are parts out there that will easily make a base better than a factory car....I agree...I accept that you can build a car to out perform a factory one....but my argument is that it's still not a Nismo. You could also turn around and build a factory Nismo to outperform other Nismo's or Base or Sports/Sports-Touring package Z's....

For clarification...When I posted "True Enthusiasts" I was referring to those into the "Nismo" model/brand....there is no doubt that we are all enthusiast of the Z here....that's why we either owned or own one.

Just like the 40th Anniversary you could take a base model and make it look exactly like a 40th Anniversary...buy the chairs, emblems, match the paint, Rims, but when it's all said and done it's simply just a replica.....the true authenticity isn't there it won't and will never be a 40th Anniversary Z. The truth will come out when you run the VIN.

I'm not downgrading the other models...or saying that the Nismo is better than the other models...What I'm stating is that it is what it is...A Nismo....It's obvious that the Z's come in different models in order to match different styles, budgets, and needs of the drivers or potential owners....If that wasn't the case then all Z's would come in one model....

Dude, don't even waste your breath. The whole "Nismo vs base" and "you spent 10k on a body kit" has been going on since the 350z Nismo came out. Go onto My350z and you'll see the same old BS threads. I guess its a hard concept to understand that most bought a Nismo because its a little more rare/unique to the standard Z, plus IMO it looks awesome! I REALLY thought the extra 18 HP was going to be sooooooooo much faster than a base

. Be happy with what you bought.

We get ragged on about spending the extra money for a Nismo on here, but you'll see on other car forums they laugh at Z owners in general because they feel the performance of a 370z doesn't match its price tag. So we all get bashed in some form or another.

true!!!

thats the reason why i get a 370z Sport Package an not Nismo.... Price and for me same sh!t with out a bodykit.... im are the type of person that always want to make the car different... and trust me i love the Nismo front facia and i want it.... but i can tell you that if i put one on my Z now maybe next year im going to sell it for buy another front end... That was the second reason cause i dont buy the Nismo... If you tell me that the Nismo comes with another engine, or comes turbo or sc with 50 hp from the factory like the Subaru WRX and the STI (they have a lot of different things) i buy the Nismo and not the sport package... but for a bodykit and a badge with numbers.... no thanks!!!

Im not a Nismo hate..... im just have to be honest...

my point is that "nismo" does not carry the special value..just a body kit and some minor tuning. if you think that's SPECIAL, then you must come from a very isolated place. or you bought (or got owned by) nissan's marketing. nismo's are cool, just not my thing.
