Looking into getting a 370z. First Timer.
I drive a Volkswagen CC. Love the car, probably gonna keep it after the lease expires since I modded the hell out of it and it's way over-mileage. (Allowed 45000 over 3 years but I'm already at 70000 miles).
Looking into getting a 370Z soon, probably within the next 2-3 months. Is the Nismo version worth it, or should I just get the base 370Z and mod that? Thanks |

Welcome to the forum. If you are a modder, the base may be a better start. Look at the options and the sport package too for your usage. Good luck with your search for the Z that fits you.

I would get the base no question then make it exactly how you want it..in my opinion the nismo body kit doesn't even compare to the amuse kit or anything aftermarket like that..so for me no question just a sport then make it sick

If you plan on modding the shyt out of it in the interior and exterior? My advice is get a base or base sport depending if you will want the akebono and rays forged? If you are going to leave the interior stock? Get a tour sport. If you will lightly mod, Intake/exhaust or just FI and that's it. Go NISMO.

Welcome...... That is a lot of miles on the Volkswagen CC. You are probably better off keeping it.
As everyone as already stated go with the base or the Nismo. You know what you want to-do & not want to-do possibly to your future Z. If you want to go crazy & mod the hell out of it, then go with the base Z. If you only want to-do intake & exhaust, then go with Nismo. I bought a Nismo b/c all I want to-do is intake & exhaust. I will put CAI once I am over 5k miles. |

Well, I'm not sure if an intake/exhaust would get me the changes I want. From what I understand, the Nissan 370Z is a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder. What's the best turbo/supercharger kit available + chip upgrade?
Another car that I'm considering is the Subaru BRZ. But I already have a 4-banger + turbo. Only thing that it gives me is that it is lightweight, and rear wheel drive. I know that in a straight, the 370Z will leave it in the dust. When I go on the track, I prefer autocrossing. The 370Z has a lot more power, but with the curves and lack of straights on the autocross circuit, will the the power matter? Thanks |
