I'm guessing that 52K includes a BS price adjustment over MSRP. That's an outlandish price increase over the standard fully loaded Z.

I'm guessing $44,999 (w/o local dealer markup).

:tup:

Pics look great, but I am happy with my sport model to be honest, not a huge fan of body kits. I do fancy the wheels though, but I still prefer the wheels that came on the S-Tune.

I love that car... http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4682/...nsthumbsup.gif

I like the wheels, the fact that they stiffened up the chassis, and the rear spoiler...but that's about it.

It looks nice
and if i couldnt afford it . i will buy the spoiler (looks like for the GT2 ) and instal it in the 370z

i'd rather get a used 911 turbo for that money.

it'll most likely be 37-39k

that car is SICK! wow....imagine that car in BLACK :nutswinger:

That's less than a fully equipped regular Touring model Z. Sure you can pick a regular Z up for less but there just probably won't be enough NISMO's available to bargain them down. The 350 NISMO was always 1 or 2 K more than a decked out grand touring's MSRP so I'd assume this one will have that kind of price tag as well.

Keep in mind that the NISMO doesn't stack onto what the touring models have. This one works up from the base with sports package (cloth seats, stereo, SRM). I'd figure that the MSRP would range at approximately the same as the original NISMO; the reason is because of sales and exclusiveness. They know if its anything past 41k, then people would much prefer to get a fully loaded touring, but if its within the ballpark of a touring + sports 370z, then it's at it's competitive pricing. You can't add nav, leather, etc. so who else would pay that much for a track car ?

remember the nismo 350z was basically just an enthusiast trim with the NISMO parts..... but yet it was still more expensive than a grand touring

seeing this...i wonder how well the z responds to TUNE ONLY and no other mods.

Maybe its just the light, but it looks like the LED screen in the fuel gauge is illuminated in red rather than orange? Can anyone confirm this?

I wonder if tuning options for the Nismo will be limited. The fact that it has a few more HP sounds great, but it has additional weight too.

My concern is that it has a different ECU so is a tuner going to invest in cracking/tuning this ECU given that it only accounts for 5% of sales for the 370?

Would the ecu's be that different?

Otherwise, I am torn between this and a loaded touring/sport/Nav

Edit: I am also wondering if Nismo 370z is to standard 370z as Nismo 350z was to standard 350z - that is, a VAST improvement in handling.

Remember Autech had YEARS of track-testing the 350z before they built a Nismo version. This time, the Nismo 370z came right out of the gate. How much R&D went into this nismo versus how much went into the 350z Nismo?

I'm thinking Autech has had 370Zs available to them long before they were ever publicly for sale.

I have to agree. I like everything except the front bumper, only because I think it looks to plain. Maybe if the front lip area was painted black it would help to give it more contrast and possibly look better?

old Nismo look better

he probably said that to scare you so you buy the 370z right then.. im waiting for the official price its been like two months....:shakes head:

Why no color Yellow for the Nismo or Roadster?

Uh, all rear spoilers/wings are basically 'stick-ons' unless you want that fat rear to be even bigger than it is.

Why do people make these ridiculous comparisons and statements? You mean if you basically can't afford a brand new Nismo then your dream car is really very used Porsche that will probably be more than 10 years old with 65k miles on it? If it is then what are you waiting for?

well lets see. a 996 twin turbo started in i think 2000 and ended in 2004 i think.
it has awd, 420hp, dry sumped, racing brakes. and with 40-50k miles big freaking deal.

put another few G's into it and it'll be a monster.

the reason i say this is because why buy a Z for 40k when you can get into a TT porsche for the same money?

so you are telling me you wouldn't want one of these sitting in your driveway for the same money??

this one happens to be going for 44k with 44,000 miles. which with after taxes and all associated fees the nismo will be within a stone toss of. theres a silver one same year i believe going for $42,000 with 34,000 miles.

just sayin..

i love both porsche and nissan. but hey gimme a nismo for 35 and chuck a turbo kit on it and the porsche wont touch it.

I'm waiting for a Z06 that someone died in. I hear you can get them real real cheap that way!

:D

you should name it Christine.

suuuuweet!

:inoutroflpuke:

LOL Man the 996 looks ancient. ;)

Seriously though. With tax etc.. A near $50k+ or so for, imo a pretty well used (tired) car, that probably won't have any warranty left. A moderate risk at best.

Especially when you can get used 07+ 997tt's, some pretty much fully loaded (PCCB etc), under 10k miles, for $80 to $90k with warranty.

If your going to get a 6+ year old car like a porsche TT etc. Don't forget to have a decent amount of cash on hand for any unexpected hiccups the car may acquire.

Yup! A little Windex, some Armour All and a spritz of Febreze and good to go. :driving:

Edmunds did a ninja edit on their article! :ninja3:

Where it originally read this:
They edited it to now read this:
I'd be ticked if I ordered this car on the basis of the original write-up for the special welds!

As factory track models go, the 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z is not the most hard-core beast ever built on a production line. cool car!!!!
