difference between a '10 370z Nismo and 11 370z nismo?

EX350 · 09-12-2012, 03:07 PM

Hey there,

I currently drive a 2011 Subaru STi and even with mods I don't like the way the car drives, so I'm thinking of getting 370z nismo because it's just a much more fun car to drive.

I want to buy used because it's my budget. Do any you guys know the difference between the 2010 model and the 2011 model? I know for the 2012 model they've added an oil cooler, but I won't be tracking the car at all and buying new is not in my budget. Is that something I should consider and wait for the 2012 MY used?

What's your opinion? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

You should be able to get used 2012's.

I don't think there are any differences between the '10 and '11 models.

you can also save money buy not buying a nismo. It isn't like the difference between wrx and wrx sti.

Only by the Nismo for the bodykit, other than that it's just slightly stiffer springs (which most people change anyway) and a better exhaust (which adds accounts for those extra ponies). Most would argue the Nismo exhaust doesn't sound that great nor does it have as solid of gains as other options on the market.

I actually like the look of the nismo and a used 11 model year with low mileage, I can get for 33k. Comparatively, a used 370z touring with the sport package I only a couple thousand lower. Essentially, I could just buy that and put a body kit on it, but that would be a lot more than a couple thou for a legitimate good figment body kit....but thanks for the feedback...it's good to know that there's no difference. I know I can get a used 2012 Nismo, but they're still in the high 30's.
