Convince me to get a Nismo 370z.

mick

i went for the nismo for the same reason (it's my daily driver too) .

the way i see it: people drive trucks, vans, SUV, sedans, etc. to work -- i drive a track car to work

Think you misinterpreted what he said.

nope, i got what he said but i didn't communicate well in that post.

he didn't go for the nismo because he didn't want a track car as a daily driver. i, on the hand, went for the nismo because i wanted a track car as a daily driver.

*you wanted a car that PRETENDS it's a track car" you have the exact same brakes a sports package, your car handles no better than a sports package, with only $1000 dolars a guy with a sports package car can have more power than you, and your car comes riced out from the factory?

mick

yeah. that's what i wanted.

i didn't buy the nismo to race other cars. i bought the car because it looked and ride like a track car. whether it was faster than the base 370z did not concern me.

when i was growing up, my dream car was the porsche 911 turbo carrera. to me, the nismo looks very close to the 911 turbo carrera with the large rear wing and wide body style.

you got that right i have had my car mistaken for a porche before too. i still want to buy an old 911 turbo to have as my old nice car with the 370 as my "oh shat look at that beast" car and whatever gets over 35mpg as my daily breadwinner.

mick

you know, a few years ago, i thought about buying a used turbo carrera or a testarossa but i don't think those cars are as easy/fun to drive like a modern sports car: they don't have power steering and a close ratio gear box. furthermore, the maintenance costs for those cars are going to be much higher.

some people say the nismo might be too raw for daily driving but its power steering and clutch operation are both lighter than my 2005 mercedes c320 sport sedan.
