Is the NISMO worth it?

Mythic · 09-09-2010, 06:53 AM

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

I'm not so sure that I can concurr with the above statements. As far as changing out the aero, I am on the fence about it (only considering the Stillen bumper for greater fuctionality after seeing it in person). To me the suspension, wheels, and interior (minus audio) are just right for me. I am a little on the fence about the brakes also.

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).
