*Ahem* that's a Mustang II, not a Mustang, Brian Boitanoquad.

So it's even better than a regular mustang, right? More is always better.

indeed but, you will have the tru car you want for less money in the end...i ordered a base roadster due to the fact i wanted the power of the nismo or more but with bigger and better brakes and wheels. car plus 15k

I bought a 2011 GM 370Z NISMO. Then i took off the bodkit, swapped the interior, ECU, gauges, wheels, exhaust, brakes and suspension with a base model. I kept the production number and rear Nismo badges. I'm going for the stealth look......FTMFW

Years ago I had a 66 Mustang 2+2 that was channeling a Shelby GT350, in some ways it was actually better (faster and cornered better) than the GT350. I intentionally did not put any GT350 graphics or badging on the car because I didn't want to spend all of my time explaining to people that the car was not a GT350 but a 2+2.

Be proud of what you are building, a Nismo EQUIPPED 370Z, but please don't try to pass it off for what it is not. The Nismo 370Z name belongs to those folks who put up the substantial additional dollars for the Nismo package. Anything else is dishonest. Call your car a Nismo at your peril, I can think of almost nothing that will anger the members of this forum more than misidentifying your car as a Nismo when it isn't.

Buys a base...

Wants a Nismo...
Thinks, he'll just get the body kit and parts...

Little does he know, the world is on to his deception.

don't IMPULSE buy a base 370z if you want a nismo, as you can see these are the problems you run into.

only in the straights, the stang would kill it in the corners

I wanted a Nismo edition 370Z. But I also wanted a Blue Z. I thought about it for a while and since I was going to mod it anyway, I just got the Base Z in Monterey Blue for $10K less. Got the Nismo body kit and my upgrades and will have a "Nismo" 370Z in MB. Don't care what people think. I wanted Blue more than what you people think about my Z.
