370z Sport vs Nismo 370z

BalanBro · 12-03-2010, 11:18 PM

My only problem with the Nismo is that there is so much missing on the creature comfort side. Granted, I am not looking for a luxury car here, but paying 40 grand for a car as well equipped as a 1996 Honda Civic LX is kinda dissapointing.

And for some reason, the JDM Nismo is decked out with T+S+N I believe. WTF?

Agreed I wish my Nismo had some of the luxuries the touring has, but I think i'll still live.

The Nismo is worth it. C&D i think is the only review that had problems with the Nismo. All the others sing praises about it. But for shear performance #'s probably not worth it. If that's what you want if that is what makes your decision then no its not worth it. BUT if you consider everything else........IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY. If you find a Nismo park next to it and then have ppl come by and see which one they are more interested in. The 370 is a great car the nismo is a great car. They could have given it a little more HP in lieu of Nav and leather which I don't get because the Japanese version of the Nismo has leather and nav and a little more tricked out tune than the regular one. You can always do more to any car to get more out of it so it's relative.

I agree with a previous post in that the Nismo "should be" to the 370 what the Z06 or ZR1 is to the vette AND ITS NOT. Its just a body kit and nothing else special. Dont chime in about the suspension stuff because that didnt make it have better lap times AND IT SHOULD if its a Nismo.

I will take my TT sport touring over a Nismo any day of the week.
