How much attention does your Nismo get?

AQUAMAN · 07-20-2013, 11:23 PM

Family is at yogibear park in Waller, tx... Lots of kids around and every kid that saw me had to pick up their jaws after I passed

. Everyone seems to think it looks like the Batmobile... I sense a theme coming lol

just to reiterate what ive already stated...... this thing is imo the perfect look. its what the 370z SHOULD have been, not just the special nismo model itself. I steal looks from the drivers OF porches, and mercs, and BMW's. This thing is an absolute stud to look at and im pretty confident it will always be one of the cars we look back on 40 years from now and think, DAMN that car was sexy.

Is she an instructor? I love those gestures. But I understnd none of them coz I've never been to the track yet.

Like the one holding the steering wheel, I'd interpret it as "Sit tight, punch the gas!"

Today...

Guy at stoplight: "Dude, what IS that? A 370?!"
Me: Yeah, it's a Nismo.
Guy: What is a Nismo?!
Me: It's a trim level of the 370Z.
Guy: Sick, man. Looks awesome.

Funny, 'cause to me my car is dirty and not looking its best... but still draws attention from random people on the street.

Nuki · 07-26-2013, 11:02 AM

Same here. My Nismo is my daily, and Kansas City has wickedly weird weather. So it has a tendency to always be dirty (I gave up washing it every day) because it's always exposed to the elements. Regardless, even when it's not looking its best, I get stares. Magnetic Black is impossible to keep clean, but the good thing is from ten feet out and further, you don't see dirt.

Two weeks ago-
Guy in his late teens at gas pump: That's a wicked machine, I bet I could beat you off the line.
Me: (I look over at his beat up late 80s chevy S-10) I bet you probably could, but I doubt you could beat me going around a corner. (I'm all grown up nowadays, and don't street race anyways.)
Guy: Is that a Z? That thing looks like a beast, be sure to take good care of her (while completely ignoring his girlfriend in the passenger seat).
Me: I will, you do the same. (Her being the jealous looking girl next to him.)

I think he totally missed what I was saying. You'd have thought he'd never seen a car before.

Someone asked me yesterday if my Nismo was a Porsche. It was at the front of the store where they stopped me as the car was at a distance and they could not see the Nissan emblems. I thought that was pretty sweet. They were surprised when I said it was a Nissan.

NelsonV · 07-26-2013, 08:00 PM

Yea, I notice that too. Only one problem though is that every now and then, someone in a moving vehicle behind, on the side or in front, get too close to my car. It freaks me out.

Elan · 07-27-2013, 06:06 AM

I was chillin in front of Stoney River BSing with a buddy. Some older guy came out and while walking to his car yells to his wife (30 feet behind him), "W-wh...what is that red car?? Is that a Porsche? Look at the fin! Honey look at that beautiful red car". I smiled but pretended it wasn't mine. I was parked behind my buddies murdered out C6 Vette too. Made me feel like a million bucks.

faya · 07-27-2013, 06:47 PM

Yesterday when I was giving her a bath, a guy dropped by and took pictures of it. After him, 2 more that are cleaning also their cars, gave good compliments as well saying " Man you got a nice car! You do.." Priceless!!

I get the porche comments about every time I get gas. Not sure why people cant look at the big *** nissan symbol on the front and back.

NissanGuy23 · 08-02-2013, 12:59 PM

I've been getting guys holding their arms out of their trucks with thumbs up alot.

Some kids at a car wash asked what it was and i said Nissan 370 and they looked disappointed. They were like "a NISSAN?!! ...oh..."

Come on now. I never see you on the raod

Now to get rid of the rear big mac and they will really be scratching their heads.

LOL, for real. I think the stock bumpers will look weird without the Emblems, though I have been kicking around the idea of replacing them with Z emblems.
