Possible Nismo Z Owner?

Spstone · 11-10-2015, 06:26 PM

When I was looking I drove just about every thing between 45-55K. Why the Z wasn't the fastest, or the most luxurious I would say it was the most balanced. Also when I looked at the cost of ownership it was a bargain compared to other cars. The insurance quote on a vet or a SRT challenger was almost triple. The cost of parts for a Porsche just turned me off all together, especially being the ones in my price range where not any thing I really wanted. So yea I would say a NISMO is a drivers car, and probably the best driver you will get in that price range as long as you fully understand what it is. It's a budget sports cars that does a lot of things great, but is not the best in any one category. That being said I have seen a lot of track video's of it eating up cars well out of it's class. There is one guy in a group I follow on face book that consistently clocks high 12sec quarter mile times on a bone stock 2015.

Appearance wise my NISMO gets more attention than my buddies STI. Also the STI feels like a sedan driving it while the NISMO feels like a racecar to me.

So in my opinion the Z is a contender for what you describe to want out of it. Than again I've wanted a Z car my whole life so I might be a little partial. I also have owned a lotus esprit and have worked multiple exotics so I'm not a stranger to performance. Is it the holly grail of sports cars? No, is it an all around fun enthusiast car, it sure as hell is that.
