I'll take the front bumper, rear spoiler, and wheels please.

Thanks

What's more, the differential in the sole Nismo Z available for testing in the U.S. failed halfway through our evaluation, leaving the car on jack stands. Several journalists who hadn't driven the car as extensively as we had were wondering how they were going to report on a car they had not actually driven. After the differential had been repaired later in the day, one of the assembled journalists unceremoniously answered that question by driving off the track at Turn 3 and destroying the car entirely.

Get Yours Soon
Nissan expects the Nismo model to account for about 5 percent of 370Z sales. The car will be available in late June with one transmission option — the six-speed manual with SynchroRev Match. Pricing will start at less than $40,000 and five colors will be available: silver, gray, black, white and red.

No Monterey Blue! MB just got more exclusive! haha

yup i knew it was one of them

In the video at 23-27sec, it looks like that's a Nismo 350Z. If they did a fast lap of each car, it'd interesting to see how they compared.

I'd expect the Nismo to likely be the heaviest model.

Clearance should be similar to a regular 370Z, but the front bumper looks to extend out a bit which makes it more easier to scrape.

I think if someone went all aftermarket, they can easily get more performance than the Nismo model, but for the price and everything turn-key, it's hard to beat.

From Nissan, the Nismo's weigh in at 3300 pounds.

I know it's been said before, but this car is begging for a 300+lb diet...

so sex bigger pics?

^The road is likely not level, but from those pics, the Nismo looks to have higher ride height....

I'd swap out my rear valence with the nismo's. Get rid of that godawful *******. At the same time, I think I'd rather have my regular ol' 370Z everywhere else.

...Wonder how much you can see out the rear of the Nismo??

Other than the front bumper, I don't feel I missed out on ANYTHING when I bought my non nismo Z. Also 150lbs of downforce at 70 is weak. At least I hope its balanced.

Maybe a bigger higher rear wing + a better diffuser + an adjustable front splitter + canaards would make the downforce acceptable for a dedicated track car.

Also its silly you guys are worried about drag for your quarter mile times....fold your mirrors back lol this car isnt doing 200mph...

No thanks. Big customer complaints not heard by Nissan. Big No-No in my book.

glad i didnt wait for the NISMO edition. All I want is the spoiler. come on nissan! no oil cooler? on a NISMO?

I waited for the Nismo to drop before deciding what to do. I have made up my mind to buy a stock Z and tune it myself.

The Nismo does not totally suck, but no thanks.
