New member, contemplating a 370z NISMO

Zuppy51 · 05-05-2010, 03:49 PM

I've narrowed my car search down the NISMO model 370z.
I sold my S2000 last year, and I really miss having a sportscar.

Hopefully this car will work out for me.

Keep in mind the suspension is a little stiff for some people. I love mine every day though

if you drive a bmw, maybe you'd prefer a touring/sport. you can get the same/better (with some simple mods) performance out of the sport package Z as you can out of the nismo. Just a thought

My 335i has the sport suspension with 18"s. It's not as cush as one would expect.
I thought that as well, however, I actually like the racier feel of the NISMO. I really missed that going from an S2000. That car was very spartan inside.

i mean, none of them are really gonna drive like a buick. I would drive both if you can. nismo buys you a spartan interior, a body kit (which i happen to like) stiffer suspension, and marginally more power. I see a bunch of people on this forum who have nismos, who ended up replacing almost all of the parts that made the nismo the nismo. they buy new suspension, wheels, replace the base stereo, replace the exhaust. I'm just saying that a lot of the parts that separate the nismo from the other models, are parts that people end up going aftermarket for anyway. but hey, people get the nismo, they must have chose it for a reason.

I had an S2000. If you liked that car you will love the Nismo. I wouldn't trade mine for anything. I had an 09 touring sport, but traded it for the Nismo. No regrets here!
