Before the but I had an 08 enth. 350, similar to sport. I found a base 2012 with only 1k miles & owned by a doctor who had to leave the area/country? Maybe a terrorist?

Mileage & condition was incredible & I had a pumpkin with LSD at home. So after driving it for only 5 minutes, I found this car to be perfect for me. Now the brakes(disks) were smaller, but the car stopped just fine plus if I will do some drag racing, lighter brakes is like having lighter wheels.

So I hit a point in life (65 yrs) where I no longer will drive the country roads that are in my N.Y.S upstate area at 120+ mph with the possibility of a deer or other animals jumping out of the woods, or me losing control on a turn & smashing into trees. A smooth driving car with an excellent auto trans. made sense to me.

I didn't need/want a Nismo.

So under different circumstances , a sport model with a manual trans. would be a must, but sometimes for some of us, the base model would be fine. However, I do HAVE to have LSD.

Had to drive yesterday for 5 hours. Found the car a pleasure to drive. I'm happy(for now) with a base.
