In overview, the Nismo feels — and looks — more like a race car than the stock 370Z, with sharper handling responses and better acceleration. At $39,540, the Nismo is

i think it's preference so no one should have to convince you. i was either going to get the sport or nismo. i went with the nismo and currently changing out the wheels with no regrets. quite a few people don't agree with that but hey it's my car. i also think the touring package is the "nismo" of interiors because there is so much better in the aftermarket as far as sound and navi, and i'm not a fan of leather. and no i don't light cigarettes with $50 bills that's insane. twenties and fives work just as well.

Hey, look who it is - "Mr. I Search for 'NISMO' once a week and post in that thread only"
OP - if you want to modify the car to perform any better than stock, stick with the base/sport. On the other hand, if you absolutely want to stay stock and have a lot of extra money to blow on almost nothing at all, go ahead and get the Nismo 370. You'll pick up the eternal respect of fanboi's like xfrgtr lol.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet - and it is maybe relevant. You could do a ton of work to a base+ with the money saved, but nissan would find a way to void your warranty in the event that something goes wrong. And, I have found, something always tends to go wrong sooner or later.
I have to agree on all accounts with the poster above me, the base+ is definitely a better value, and definitely can be better/more cost efficient if you plan on modding your car. But hell, its your car, get what YOU want. I don't post much on these boards, but I do read a decent amount. That being said, there is WAY to much **** measuring going on with these nismo vs. base+ debates. Who CARES? They are practically the same car, and we are all enthsiests of this car anyway...why does someone else car if I paid more for my car than they would have paid? |

unfortunately that isn't a huge increase, which doesn't lead to the nismo being that much quicker.
The people who bought the nismo (me included) bought it knowing full well that an 18hp increase isn't huge, and i hope most people realize there weren't going to be HUGE differences in performance. I bought it more for the body kit (which i know is subjective) and what I was led to believe was noticeable better handleing...my own fault for listening to a salesman. Do i regret the nismo? No, I would definitely do it again if given the choice (i also bought it for 37k before tax, instead of the 39ish MSRP). The biggest factors for me were the fact that it already has a (slightly) up graded suspension without voiding my warranty. That also doesn't mean I'm a "****" to a sport+ or any other z owner. That is a pretty broad generalization to make. Not to mention, all Ford, chevy, etc owners probably think all Z owners are dicks too. It all depends where you viewpoint is. |
