I got my '12 for $38,900. You can get a '13 for $40K.

i got my 2011 nismo for 35K OTD

@OP
just the other day i raced a modded evo x in my stock nismo Z and i beat him(not by much but i did beat him)

he had a full exhaust, Cat delete, and running 17psi off the stock turbo
while my car was just a stock nismo(compared to the base Z all thats different is exhaust, tune, and weight) and tbh if a stock nismo Z will be some modded evos, there is alot of potential for a full bolton Z with a tune

i think full bolton Zs make close to 350whp with a tune and you might be able to make more

just a warning in case you dont know, any talk of street racing is prohibited on the boards.

this was at the track not the street, i dont street race, its illegal and dangerous...

this was at a drag strip as well not a road course, the closest track is willow springs and that like a 8 hour drive and im not willing to make that drive unless its a special occasion

really? full boltons, including heads and cams?

a stock Z is about 250-260whp(estimate again) so another 100whp from full boltons(exhaust, CAI, heads, cams, light weight flywheel, lightweight pully, ect.) isnt unrealistic but you would have to be tuned for everything, untuned you would only really gain like 30whp from everything

but im also a z noob so chances are that im wrong

If you are looking for opinions: The EVO X and the 370Z are both beautiful and powerful in their own right. I bought a 2012 370 Z Nismo 6 months ago, love it... but needed a daily driver.... traded in my Lexus GS and bought a 2011 Evo X MR 2 weeks ago.... love it. Like being married with a mistress (figure it out

) . Plan on modding the hell out of the EVO, but keeping things mild with the NISMO for the time being. EVO is much easier to mod and tune as you know... As far as p***y appeal. Get far more mature looks with the Nismo... but occasional young stares and smiles in my X

I'd keep them both... livin' the dream!

^THIS

you cant go wrong with either car, i actually wanted an EVO X GSR before i got my Z, i decided on my nismo after reading alot of reviews and seeing both cars in person as well as test driving both of them

Not sure about cams, but with everything else stated plus tune 335+ would be what u can expect... Start looking for that 5.0/sti/evo early.
