A few things: I live in Chattanooga TN and there are only 2 Nissan dealers here. On the day the 370z came out, there were only 3 of them in the whole town for sale. 2 were 6MTs and I wanted a 7AT. Because they knew they had a corner on the 370z market (at that moment) they were not coming off the sticker.
Most of my sports cars have been manuals through my life, but in 2007 I was hit by a drunk driver and spent 7 months in the hospital. I had severe brain injuries and also was permanantly blinded in one eye. You might be thinking "well you still have one eye" and I do, but the eye I lost was my dominant eye. While I can still see, I can no longer shoot pool, or a gun accurately. For THIS REASON, I decided an auto might be better for now.
I am not bragging on my car or dissing the Nismo. Money is not an issue for me and if I wanted a Nismo, I would just go buy one (or a GTR for that matter). The truth is, I LIKE THE 370! I personally dont like body kits and thats what the Nismo looks like to me. If I were tracking my car I might....MIGHT...consider aero enhancements, but I am not. I plan on running a few 1/4 miles and local driving and thats it.
So, I have what I have and you have what you have....end of story.
