Honestly I was giving the thought of giving up my car for the Nismo but love my interior goodies but the Nismo exterior looks amazing. Honestly do you feel a big difference between the base sport and Nismo other than the exterior? Is the 18hp noticeable or does it grip that much better than a regular Z?

I had no mods at all on my sport, so I immediately noticed a big difference. The throttle delay was gone, much closer throttle response to the 350Z. I noticed like other members here said when you get springs the ride quality/how smooth she is improved greatly. Much less body roll as well. I'd recommend driving one if you kind find one out there, it may just be me. It just happened to be a last minute thing I did, I was online about to order exhaust and springs the night before I bought it.

I own a Nismo and just went with a friend that bought a 370 touring edition. I drove his. I dont think you will really notice the 18HP difference too much. But the handling is much different. I like how the Nismo feels like its a part of the road! They both have the strut bars but the suspension is a huge difference. If you like a softer ride, take the regular 370z. But if you like the looks and the handling, take the Nismo!

I dont know if its just me, but I dont really care for automatic seats, and I prefer cloth over leather.

I picked up my 2012 in Nov last yr. Used as a DD for about the first month but been trying to slow down since. Just broke 5400mi two days ago.

I drive on the weekends and to the gym several times a week. I bought mine used in Jan with only 1300 miles on it. The drive home was 800 miles. And it sits at 4800 now. It's a 2009!

My 2010 has 8500 miles and drive it mostly in the summer and other nice weather days. Have Fusion hybrid as my daily driver.

My 2009 only has 2800 miles on it. It does not get out much.

I will get my '12 Nismo tomorrow. I'm planning on driving it on nice days & on the weekends. When the Nismo is not being driven it will be resting in the garage. I have a '10 Fusion that I have been driving as my dd.

Wow dude. That is nothing at all! I don't know how you do it.

I get my Nissan motorsports intake, berk hfc, oil cooler and ss brake lines next week and I plan to run the piss out of it after it's all installed.

I bought mine December of 2010 and it has 10200 miles.

I purchased my Z34 in early January 2012 and shes currently a few hundred miles shy from hitting 3K miles. I try to use her as a part time dd to not neglect my 04 Z33. It's not easy!

It's hard not to drive it.

I drive mine every single day it's not torn apart for some modification. Bought this guy to drive baby!

'09 coming up on 40k miles. Less than two weeks ago I drove from the far side of Nashville to Jupiter, FL then Ft. Lauderdale, then Miami, spent the weekend on Homestead speedway, on Monday drove to Jacksonville and was at the Atlanta Aquarium before lunch on Tuesday. I made it to Myrtle Beach that night and then home to Norfolk, VA on Thursday. Last Friday I went up to DC, and was back home on Monday.

I love to drive my NISMO.
