Default Welcome

My my, Dpeters was very negative.

Agreed, best looking Z ever. This car turns heads like no other, and owning a NISMO puts you in a very exclusive crowd--not very many on the road so it turns heads big-time. I'm amazed at the newbs that ask if it's a Skyline.

The car rides rough because of the stiff body and racing suspension. I personally love feeling every nook and cranny in the road while I am doing 50mph over the speed limit. It handles like a dream as a result. It's a RACE CAR, if you want comfort buy an Altima.

Power is above-average for a performance car. Not all that special off the line but very good mid-range acceleration. It goes from 80-130 like a shot.

It has a MANUAL tranny only. I love that fact above all other and I'm sick that any Z comes with an automatic transmission. Reference my Altima statement earlier for my views on that.

Enjoy your rocket

Not being negative, just honest. The guy asked what to expect, and while it's a subjective answer, am I wrong on my assessment? Radio sucks, visibility sucks, ride is stiff as hell, looks are legendarily wonderful, people will comment left and right. Do I regret my purchase? No, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. I bought this car knowing that most of these issues exist, as should anyone looking at a Nismo.

For the record, I like a stiff ride too.... just not on a long road trip.
