Educate me....cause I am tired!

Blue370tt · 01-23-2011, 04:41 PM

When I bought my 370z, I got EVERY option that was offered: Sport/touring with nav and 7AT.....out the door tax and all was about $48K. I bought it the day they came out so NO ONE was coming off sticker.

After that, I put over $20K in mods: GTM stage 2 twin turbo, many cooling mods, greddy tiC turbo exhaust, and VIS carbon fiber hood. After MANY Osiris tuning sessions @ Z1, I am putting down about 500 whp and 388 tq. The car runs great!

Now, someone....NICELY....tell me WHAT a Nismo has that I dont have? Except for the body kit (which DOES NOT improve performance), what does it have that is better than a loaded 370z?

I AM NOT HATING ON NISMOS......please dont go there. I think the Nismo looks good to some, its just not what I want.

I have said to some before that I wish the Nismo WAS to the 370 what the ZR1 is to the vette.....but it is not. If it was, I would have one.

So, without hate, someone educate me!

Thanks,
Blue

What is the point of this thread? Another base/touring vs nismo? This really isn't going to go anywhere. If you really want to debate about this just go to the nismo section and you can read about it all day because you will get the same responses here.

who cares what someone else thinks? The next time someone else says "mine is better than yours", just say, "wow your right dude, you win". Get over the ego issues and just enjoy your car. It will set you free.

Dont let anyone take things out of your mouth. That is unsanitary.

I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks a Nismo is better than a TT 370.

If you're heating this type of talk from random people on the street then thats different. They likely know nothing about the car to begin with and you shouldn't let it bother you.

As for the Nismo kit, I was under the impression it did in fact improve downforce which is a performance issue. Maybe not in a straight line but definitely performance related. You didn't list any suspension mods so the Nismo has that on you.

Nismo has different body pieces, a red accented manifold cover and different wheels/tires.

But yeah what's the point of asking the questions?

See above....and the wheels are not much different than my sport rays. .5 inches wider on the rims.......but I am running 295/30s any way.

junior_jam · 01-23-2011, 04:47 PM

They have nice stitching on the seats. Seriously, your car is better than a Nismo.

209Z · 01-23-2011, 04:47 PM

Actually the aero kit does help, downforce.
