How much attention does your Nismo get?

babbagandu · 10-21-2011, 03:51 PM

I love my Nismo and think it looks great, but I had no idea it would be getting so much attention on the street when I bought it. Maybe I am just so used to the look of the Z (350 and 370) that I don't think it stands out so much, but man I swear it is almost like I am driving a Ferrari.

I have been getting so many looks, and so many people coming up to me and saying "Wow beautiful car" and things along that line... I swear if at any point in the future I go 1 week without somebody saying something or staring me down I will feel like something is off

Sometimes I feel like this car would be perfect for a pedophile because young boys seems to especially love the nismo

(disclaimer: I am not a pedophile, just sayin)

Yup, tons of attention. thats why I was so happy after getting tints... Feels like it keeps the eyes off....

Jeffblue · 10-21-2011, 04:36 PM

the nismo gets a lot of attention stock. A modded 370z (even just wheels and a drop) will get a lot of attention too. I'm actually happy to be rid of the attention since it was my DD. I'm liking the lack of attention i get with the 335, especially when i have to leave my car somewhere. But when you want to showboat, its definitely fun

2011 Nismo#91 · 10-21-2011, 06:26 PM

Mine gets no attention, but it's almost always in the garage.

FL 4Motion · 10-21-2011, 07:45 PM

I dunno if it gets THAT much attention, occasionally I'll get a

or a "nice car" etc. But it's not like I'm rolling around in a 458 italia or anything.

Funny thing is though, on those occaisons when I do have a quick convo with some random about the car, they always assume it's 50K plus car, they always seemed shocked when I tell them it stickers for $40K and can be had for much less if you're not a retard.

I was out for a cruise today and came up behind a caymann at a traffic signal. I noticed that I was stealing his looks from the rubber neckers at the signal. lol. Sad part was the driver was an old guy that was babying the car and was holding up traffic because he was driving so slow. That poor Caymann.

I agree with the OP, the car does get alot of attension. Way more then I thought it would when I bought it.

a cayman is much more conservative looking than a nismo 370z.

Drove my gf to work today in the nismo and while coming back home, this 40-50 year old foreign lady opened her window and told me nice car. After that, her buddies and her were all giggling... lol

I've also had little kids point at my car with their finger following my car and saying "I want that" to their parents. Also some random guy on the street called my car a Ferrari... I don't know how disappointed he was when he saw my hamburger emblem instead of a horse.

NFSZ86 · 10-23-2011, 02:05 PM

Even though I have a regular Z34 lol I know what u guys feel, even dirty ppl say nice car. Once I drove next to a school bus on the highway and this little kids on the bus were drooling lol

Nismo63 · 10-23-2011, 11:55 PM

Every time I take it out... one guy almost broke his neck the other day looking back at it. LOL

TWYNBYZ · 10-24-2011, 04:19 PM
