The Nismo is the way to go, i got mine brand new off the showroom floor for $33,000, you can get a good deal on one if you shop around. I looked at a few of the new Z's, but there was no way i was gonna buy one unless it was a Nismo, it stands apart, the new 370 is rare as is, add the limited Nismo package, and it gets even better.
Upgreaded wheels (my favorite), suspension, interior, body kit, 9hp from com, 9hp from exhaust...just my own opinion, but i wouldnt have a Z if it werent for me running across my Nismo... Oh, and ive had at least 5 people legit think that it was a porche...Ladies love the Nismo

If you can get it for the right price (below $35K) and you don't intend to mod the heck out of it, and you don't mind the firm ride, I say go for it.
Myself I've replaced everything that distinguishes the Nismo aside from the body kit, suspension, sway bars, exhaust, wheels. My mods + base price car cost a far bit more than what Mystic paid but it is customized to my needs and wants. So bottom line: No mod: Nismo (if you can get a good price) Mod junky: No Nismo

Currently, I have swapped out the cat-back and have LTHs on order, considering the Stillen bumper (purely for better air-flow), and looking to go with some sort of FI application (if bolt-ons don't satisfy my need for more guts).

Although I have neither raced nor modified Z cars, and my personal "Z" experience is limited to my present Nismo, I did submit test-drive articles on a regular basis in the 1980's to Porsche Panorama and BMW Roundel magazines comparing competitor cars to Porsches and BMWs. I thought this group would appreciate a similar effort with regard to our Z's. Permit me to profer advice to those 370Z owners contemplating "mods": ATTEND A DRIVING SCHOOL! Our cars have an enormous performance envelope that most drivers cannot approach. One cannot imagine the improvement in driving skills and capability available by taking even a single, novice driving class. |

I will be only too happy to compare my seat-time in a Mustang 5.0, Camaro SS, Corvette and Cayman S to our Nismos. For that matter, should anyone wish a comparo between the Nismo and any of my previous cars, just yell.
Every car has its own unique personality, character and "soul", an inherent "goodness" that cannot be measured by a mere number at a drag strip or race course. The 370Z has that "goodness" in spades. As I am about to leave for Pittsburgh and the Steelers home opener, will return to complete my in-depth response on Tuesday. |
