Default New Version of the 370z Nismo

New version of the 370z Nismo.

Just opened my motor trend magazine. I already know there is a better version of the GTR coming out. 0-60 in 2.7 sec, which is much better then the original 3.2sec.

But does anyone have any specs on the new version they are coming of the 370z Nismo? That is what an article I read that the Japanese have promised.

LOL.. I knew this was coming.. I read about the Cosmetic differences, but the way they worded it, was as if it was going to be even faster, like the new GTR is. So there!

What are they changing cosmetically? The only real turn off I have to the nismo right now is the rear bumper.

The rear bumper is to rice. That's why I'm looking at changing it out to a Zele....if there are any left or not around $3500.

I don't say it's rice. It just doesn't look good to me. Sticks out too much, if it was tucked under like the base bumper, I'm all for it.

I would just put a stock bumper on. Nismo bumper looks a bit square, I like the silhouette of the stock one. That's the only way I know hot to describe it.

i personally think it finishes the rear off nicely. the base is too abrupt and tucked. the nismo rear also flows well with its side skirts. when i look at a regular bumper i see a dog with his tail tucked.

even though im in love with the rear on my nismo, the non functional side slits/vents that do nothing are stupid. almost rice like.

Agreed! The rear bumper on the Nismo is 10000 times sexier then the stock bumper on base/touring models.

The 350z Nismo rear was a bit.... Much

Look at that butt below, you know you like it

0-60 times stopped being accurate indicators of performance decades ago. 1/4 mile times and trap speeds are what to look out for when magazine racing....or skid pad if you own a BRZ/FR-S
