Question About Future Buying (Nismo)

theDreamer

I think the only changes for 2010 are minor ones, no power changes.
Changes are like heated side mirrors, in cabin air filter, etc. I am 6'4" and fit great in the Z, I was shocked I was able to drive this around with any issues.

The issue with manual v. automatic is that one of the main comparisons is straight line speed. I will say even the Mustang auto is almost faster than the manual (V8), the reason is because a computer can shift faster than a human ever could. Also, with things like DSG, and double clutch and all that it has turned a new light on for "automatic" transmissions. I put that in quotes because we are at the point where you are doing all the work, shifting up/down but you lose the clutch pedal only. Without getting much into an auto v. manual debate there are advantages & disadvantages to each and will be a never ending debate (just like oil).

But the heated side mirrors, in cabin air filter, etc... are only available to the 370Z and not the Nismo, right?

Also I heard that the Nismo does not have any oil coolers. I think they should install them for the 2010 year models.

No idea on the changes actually, not sure how the current Nismo is listed (2009 or 2010). Also, do you plan on tracking the car? Nissan has already made an official statement about the oil topic, seems pretty clear.

The OP is overly concerned about minor variations in statistics.. i.e., the HP number of the car, as if that really means anything. He's also fishing for guesses about future changes to the car.. as if anybody can actually respond to that in an authoritative way. It's all guessing.

The Z really isn't for him. He should buy the car with the highest rated horse power that he can afford for straight line performance and forum bragging rights, as anything else will feel inferior to him. It's borderline trolling really.

Hmm maybe in the future. I just read the statement about it but could not figure out why Nismo wouldn't install the coolers in the first place when the car is pretty much a track based machine.

I thought I already made it blatantly clear that I do not want the SS? And forum bragging rights? Sorry, I just find those who project their own envies and secrets a bit lame.

I have worked hard to buy something I really want. I want to get the best out of something before I regret in the future. There is absolutely no reason to call me a troll.
