on a side question, you think it would be crazy to put on snow tires and drive this car in the snow? I will be living in a city and don't NEED to drive everyday. but i worry about body kit being to low and hitting snow and ice.

i know a 370z would handle this better, but nismo worries me.

I don't have snow tires, but when the pavement started accumulating even frost in my neck of the woods... the Nismo was no longer a viable DD - not worth the risk for a $40k car.

I ended up purchasing a used SUV for the winter months. It's worth it to use as a grocery getter, dog hauler, and just a car you don't mind beating up a little in general. You won't be hauling many groceries or otherwise in the Nismo; I could pack more in my 350Z roadster than I can in my Nismo coupe. :P

Just to offer a different perspective, i haul groceries and drive in the snow with my Nismo, so it comes down to what your willing to do. Blizzaks on the Nismo make it def driveable, there are pics around the forum of a few nismo owners in the snow. Its not ideal, but its df tolerable if it only snow a few times a year
