Fo' sho. Don't know why Nissan didn't subcontract GTM to do this, and make a very limited amount of them a la Stillen SMG 300ZX twin turbo?

If Nissan and GTM collaborated with conservatively 400HP boosted 370's, man, you could easily get like $50,000+ for them.

This thing could've been a Z06 competitor.

Are the parts available seperatly in North America yet? I'm interested in the rear spoiler...

Im definately getting one. I been waiting for the Nismo since I first read about it. To me, I am really digging the looks. The front end looks way better than the stock fangs and the back end with the diffuser and functional wing looks awesome. I dont get why C&D complains about the rear wing being all "import tuner or riced out"...take a look at the wings that comes on the GT3 and GT2, those are bigger than the Nismo Zs. Anyways, for those who really need nav, there is always aftermarket and a set of Alcantara Recaros will always be way sexier than the stock perminission(sp?). Also the Nismo exhaust can be replaced and sold for a good price to someone with a regular 370 looking for an exhaust system

Like someone else said, I wouldn't judge the Nismo's performance based on one magazine review, although I personally was hoping the performance would at least have been to the point of being better than a normal Z as to not have the need for another review to alleviate the Nismo's performance concerns.

I believe Car & driver mentioned in their article that it wasn't broken in yet, implying that we have to wait for more mileage.

I love my 370z touring but I actually like the Nismo wing ... I do want to test drive one tho just to see the difference in handling and speed ... And I think if your going to throw on Mods anyways might as well start with the 370 unless you plan to get a NISMO version and roll stock ...

Get rid of that hideous bodykit. What is it with ricer bodykits? Get rid of it! It makes the car look cheaper, a try hard. The standard sports touring whatever you guys call it over there is a looker. Nissan what the hell were you thinking?
