Considering a 370Z Nismo

tim414

Hello to all,

I just joined the forum recently. I am sorta new to Nissan. I bought my first Nissan (a daily driver) about a year ago. I really like it. My parents have had a Nissan for many years so I decided to get one and leave GM behind.

I have always been a GM fanboy up until I bought my dd. I have owned Corvette for many years. I like NA HP. However, Vette pricing for the new Z06 is at GTR levels. I'm not spending six figures for a new ride anymore. My last one was a 2010 Z06 which was near six figures out the door.

I am considering a new ride and have settled on the Z nismo. I know that the Z is NA V6; my biggest concern is HP. Is there any bolt on's that can add HP without going FI???

I have liked the Z ever since it first appeared as the 350Z. I like the body style; it sorta evokes (the rear) Porsche. I never liked the style of P-car but for some reason I DO like the Z.

I have not pulled the trigger because I am wary of 350 hp. It seems like the Nissan engineers could get 400 'factory' hp from the 3.7L engine. If my buddy can get 682 hp from his GTR V6.....seems to me it's possible. Although FI....the new Z06 is FI as well (V8 FI 650 factory hp).

I know the new way of getting HP is through/by FI. Vette has gone there with the Z06 and the new mid-engine will debut next year. It is rumored to be a V6.....!!!

I am scheduled to go to the Nissan dealer on Saturday to look at a white nismo with auto and tech - ->(Nav?)

What is a good out the door price for a new nismo? It stickers for 48,600....

Thanks
Tim
