You mean like Ferrari putting different tires & tunes on cars depending on the test, even during the same magazine testing day?

Ferrari always cheats. At everything. And if you call them out on it, you don't get to buy a Ferrari. You and I are off the list now.

That is ok, I prefer to have other cars.

Me too. The F430 I drove was a turd.

I had a Lotus Elise and EVERYONE will ask/take pictures. They would take my picture more than Vipers even. Im thinking about buying a white Nismo. Will it get THAT much attention?

Not as much as an Elise...

Now if the nismo you get has 662hp then it's a different story

Did a trackday yesterday. After my first session was over. I had a lot of people come over and ask me about the Nismo. As I'm the only Z tracking at Pittsburgh International that I know of. Going down the front straight in 4th at 8,000 rpm, then braking for T1, catching a down shift with the revmatch is pure music with LTH's and the whole FI exhaust.

It Must Be Music To Your Ears!!!!

Sorry to be nitpicky, but isn't the 370 (and Nismo) rev limited to 7500rpm?

You can raise it with a tune.

Come out of T11 in 3rd. Shift to 4th at 7400~7600 rpm. Hold to 8,000 rpm because soon as I hit 8,000 rpm. I'm hard on the brakes for T1. Soon as the rpms drop down to about 5,000 rpms. Down shift to 3rd. Still hard on the brakes.
