370z Sport Package or Nismo?

Alexthegreat · 03-30-2014, 06:15 PM

Hello,

I am new to the forum but i've been snooping around here for some time now. I have decided to buy a 370Z but i am not sure whether to get the base with sports package and do mods afterwards or just spend the extra cash and go for nismo any suggestions?

oh, and in before this turns ugly (again, for like the 100th fvcking time).

What he said ^

I think the sport package is the best bang for buck in the Z lineup, you can save some cash now and mod later. I have the sport package and dont feel like im missing anything, but thats just me.

However, if you do have the cash now, and like the nismo, get the nismo. You can also mod the nismo later if you feel the need.

Reasons to get a Nismo vs. Base plus Sport:

1. No intention to mod or very light modding.
2. Prefer the looks of the Nismo.
3. Want the additional exclusivity of the Nismo.

I have one for reasons 2 & 3. If you plan on tracking your Z and doing a lot of upgrades you're probably better off getting a base + sport.

Just remember that in the end it's your decision.

So ur calling everyone who modded their cars who didnt buy a nismo a pussy? Cuz if thats so u should gtfo.

Op its all preference. If u want to mod ur car and make it unique go for it! If u want a nice looking ride thats already fun to drive and responsive go with the nismo. I personally didnt want to skip out the luxuries of the touring sport package so i wanted leather and and all that so i got that and modded it like crazy. Now it turns more heads and is faster than a stock nismo. But if u like the nismo body package i would get the nismo cuz the fitment is better than any aftermarket kit.

Get the base/sport 'cause you can't get an automatic with the NISMO and most everyone on here will tell you that the 7AT is the way to go.

I would never want a "Z" with an auto. Removes the fun factor.

Dual clutch and paddle shifters have plenty of fun factor. Slushbox torque converter, though...

What's a good price on a 2015 Nismo Tech? Is $44k out the door unreasonable?
