Maybe it is just me, but the 370 Nismo seems a bit of a disappointment. Body kit, slightly stiffer springs and sway, an exhaust and a tune doesn't seem to add up to the $5000 extra they are going to charge. The fact that you can't even drive it on track because it doesn't have an oil cooler just made me laugh.

I agree..I had high expectations for the Nismo..after this review..i might just get a touring+sport and just mod it..hopefully theyll fix everything up before sales in the fall

5 days until arrival and no price? i bet they are waiting for it to get them to so they can quote you a price at the dealership.

ETA is July 17, not June 17..fyi

aside from the mechanical issues, it would be nice to see it in a few other colors than the silver we see now.

anyone want to photoshop it in red or white maybe?

No need for that... A simple search is so much easier ;)

oops.... thanks!:tup:

Doesn't anyone get it? It's a CAR for the STREETS not for the track! That's all just marketing! How many of these do you think will even see a track?? They throw a body kit on it and make some suspension adjustments to make it sportier than the regular Z. The upgrades and cosmetics doesn't make the NISMO a true track car. Enjoy it for what it is on the streets where it is meant to be driven.

....many of the nismo 350z guys track their cars...its like what a GT3 is to a 911...obviously there are street GT3s but there are plenty that go to the track...since you own a BMW you prolly would not know what this means..considering the fact that BMW does not "truly" make a track variant of any car...

to further negate your opinion..just watch the video...all aero pieces are functional, there is no navigation or leather seats or sound system..its suspension is improved to the point of discomfort for the street, but stability on the track...we are talking about 1+ lateral g, 0-60 in less than 5 second sports car...not some sedan with a shoehorned 6.2 liter...

Gnarf: Another victim of great marketing. I don't know what they drive in Jersey but the brokers and doctors who drive the GT3's around in LA I doubt ever see the track. Oh, and do you really think all the buyers of the Nismo will fork over $40k for a car they will only pull out to take to the track?? Dude, you're on drugs. The majority of people buy Ferraris and Porsche to be seen in them on Freeways and race stoplight to stoplight, not to abuse in front of a few gearheads on a track.

FYI, I was looking at a Nismo 370Z for a track car primarily. However, after reading that review and noting the lack of an oil cooler and a real LSD, I may look for a used 911 instead. But I did like the idea of a brand new fully warrantied and fully capable track pig. What's Nissan thinking about not including these 2 items? Maybe they will by next year, when I'll really be in the market.

Edit: Also, I think I heard 80% of GT3 owners track their cars.

Nissan Announces Pricing on 2009 NISMO 370Z™
Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) announced pricing for the all-new 2009 Nissan NISMO 370Z™, which goes on sale today at Nissan retailers nationwide. The new, second-generation NISMO Z® continues the tradition of the original, offering unique performance and design attributes that true sports car enthusiasts are looking for – including a functional aerodynamic body design, 18 additional horsepower and a special sport-tuned suspension.

The 2009 Nissan NISMO 370Z™, which is equipped with a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with SynchroRev Match, has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price* (MSRP) of US $39,130. Only three accessories are available on this well equipped vehicle – NISMO carpeted floor mats, illuminated kick plates and a carpeted trunk mat.

“The new NISMO Z® is a tuner and Z® enthusiast’s dream – straight from the factory,” said Pat Steiner, Director, Specialty Vehicles, Nissan Division, NNA. “With its dramatic exterior, custom interior, sport-tuned performance and under $40,000 price, this new NISMO Z® is possibly the best ‘bang-for-the-buck’ sports car available today.”

About the 2009 NISMO 370Z™
The NISMO 370Z™ was developed by Nissan’s Specialty Vehicles Group in conjunction with Autech Japan, Nissan’s longstanding conversion partner. The NISMO Z®’s standard 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) develops 350 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque (versus the standard 370Z Coupe’s 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque), thanks in part to an exclusive free flow dual exhaust system, muffler tuning and an optimized Engine Control Module.

As expected of a true performance machine, the NISMO 370Z™ is offered with only one transmission – a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with standard SynchroRev Match-the world’s first synchronized downshift rev matching manual transmission introduced earlier this year on 370Z Coupe (which simulates perfectly matched heel-toe-like downshifting).

The NISMO 370Z™ also features a refined 4-wheel independent suspension, a reinforced strut tower brace for enhanced body rigidity and a pair of performance body dampers to manage road-input vibrations and help contribute to the NISMO 370Z™’s stability and performance feel. The NISMO-tuned suspension includes specially tuned springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars. Wider, unique 5-spoke 19-inch RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport Y-rated high-performance tires. Nissan Sport Brakes and a Viscous Limited-Slip Differential are also standard on the NISMO 370Z™.

Along with its standout performance, the new NISMO Z® stands out from the crowd with its dramatic performance-oriented exterior and interior styling. The functional and fully integrated aerodynamic body modifications include an extended nose with a canard design at each corner for improved downforce and a fully integrated chin spoiler. Special side sills and a unique rear fascia help manage airflow under the vehicle, while the functional rear spoiler also increases downforce.

The interior includes NISMO logo seats with black and red fabric and red stitching, a NISMO tachometer, a smooth leather-wrapped steering wheel with red parallel stitching, a smooth leather-wrapped shift knob and aluminum trimmed pedals. A serialized plaque of authenticity is also matched to each NISMO Z®, identifying its unique serial and model year designation.

Wooot, GET ME A WHITE ONE!!!

:wtf2:Are you seriously going to start flaming on a 370Z forum when you're driving an overglorified convertible? :shakes head:

The NISMO is meant to be a high performance street car; yet it can be easily tracked... just an oil cooler, maybe a better diff (lol VLSDs suck for any kind of driving, better get that clutch type!).

Plus that majority are the people that really just don't "enjoy" cars. You can never feel the true potential of a car by street racing, which is horrible and irresponsible in the first place, regardless of your driving skill or how empty the road is.

Also remember that Ferrari's, Porsche's, those European sports cars are made for luxury speed; remember the driving rules in Europe are much different; they can go pretty damn fast all over the place too. When you take a stock Ferrari, more than likely it's not a capable track car at all; all that weight added on from the luxury, etc. Think the standard F430 compared to the F430 Scuderia. Huge difference.

That being said, the NISMO is not truly a pure track car, but it can handle the track a lot better than any stock 370Z could, regardless of trim or options. If I had bought a NISMO 350Z (in Red, at the Evanston Autobarn Nissan in Chicago, 30,500?), I'd likely drive that thing on the street a vast majority of the time. Yet since I know it's a NISMO, it's fully capable of a good track run. So I'd probably take it out once in a while.

And hell, you don't know the income of the forum members? Some people here have just too many cars in my opinion... and as far as I'm concerned, they could be crashing them into brick walls for fun. (but that's only because I'm jealous <AHEMfrostAHEM>)
