After that, I put over $20K in mods: GTM stage 2 twin turbo, many cooling mods, greddy tiC turbo exhaust, and VIS carbon fiber hood. After MANY Osiris tuning sessions @ Z1, I am putting down about 500 whp and 388 tq. The car runs great!

Now, someone....NICELY....tell me WHAT a Nismo has that I dont have? Except for the body kit (which DOES NOT improve performance), what does it have that is better than a loaded 370z?

I AM NOT HATING ON NISMOS......please dont go there. I think the Nismo looks good to some, its just not what I want.

I have said to some before that I wish the Nismo WAS to the 370 what the ZR1 is to the vette.....but it is not. If it was, I would have one.

So, without hate, someone educate me!

Thanks,

You say your not hating on Nismos but I think you are. A Nismo is better than a base, just like the sport touring is better than the base, like the 40th is better than a base. Hence the term base. A starting point. But I am pretty sure that YOUR car is better than any trim level 370Z that is offered. $70k wow. I would like to dump $20k into my Nis but at that point I would spend just a little more and get the GTR or buy a DD. And who is going around bragging or saying a Nismo is better........ I see a bunch of threads from non nismo owners always saying that its not.
