The more i see prices of Nismos and 360s on ebay its clear that i could have done somewhat better on price , however it is difficult to haggle on a price when you are dealing with collectable cars and exotics, ( i had the same problem with the 360 4years ago) and i hope to keep this car for some time until it gains in value

However i had lots of seat time time over 150 miles of driving thru back roads in west Virgina, and i have alot to say about the car!

First off its very comfortable for these long trips with the hubby and the seats don't hurt my back ( ive had 1 spinal surgery) like the ferrari did, The car handles great and feels very predictable in the corners and its very easy to get her tail out, it seems that the LSD in the Z has more lock than the ferrari. Im currently researching about exhaust since i think the car does need one and im sure i could gain serious power from it.

Thers just one lil thing that bothers me, its the noise of my hubby when i chirp 2nd!


Oh how i just love this beast
Only a real troll would ignore all of the previous comments and add more troll comments..

What cracks me up is that some forum members are buying this story.

...

You're saying you're going to wait until the Nismo gains in value? I hope I'm misunderstanding this, because it will depreciate over time, not gain in value. You know this right?

But hey guys, in the event that this is actually real, lets leave the OP's sexual orientation out of any distasteful jokes
That was quite the plot twist though haha

wow I have not laughed like this for a while! Some of those comments are priceless . As much as I want to say it's legit, but part of me is saying it's a not. To the OP, if you indeed are real and did trade your Modena for a Nismo and happy with it, well huge congratulations to you. At the end of the day, it's what makes YOU happy counts. If you are just trolling us, well .. thanks for the entertainment... It def. made my day.. .. unfortunately, if you're trolling us, I may have to get rid of you. So come clean. Tell us what's true

this is my favourite thread of the day

you guys doubting that the Z is better clearly don't know basic elementary math.

370 is whole 10 greater than 360.

Even bad ferrari's are expensive collectibles. It doesn't make sense to trade. Might as well add the Z instead of trade. AND TRADING A FERRARI??? Nuts... you sell a ferrari. Then he gave the guy 3k over sticker. At minimum. I would have paid 46k out the door if not cheaper. Especially while Sports cars of NOT IN PEAK season right now.
Another thing, by selling a 360 to a newb rich guy. He coulda gotten 70k-100k and have a Nismo with KW 3/Robispecs,Volk wheels... high end aftermarker camber,endlinks etc... and a stillen supercharger setup with the remaining money.

You're stuck on how bad the modena is and not its monitary worth in the exotic arena.

I would keep the Ferrari just to wreck p***y on Friday nights. Trust me, the Z will NOT get ferrari attention.

i personally would rather date the girl at starbucks over meghan fox, she probably has better qualities than meghan fox ever would but in reality it all boils down to personal preference

while i agree for the most part that you never trade a ferrari, you sell one
i would disagree about the attention that a Z can get, especially a nismo Z, where i live, you see exotics so often that they just become part of the background(most common ones i see are lambos, ferraris, maserati, lotus, and bently) but you almost never see a nismo 370z and being someone who owns one, i notice when people are checking out my car when its at a red light, driving by the mall, and noticing people turning heads when i drive by people and even sometimes when im stopped at a red light and someone is crossing the street, i get compliments on the car

now im not debating that exotics are better pussy magnets than the nismo 370z is, what i am debating here is street cred(or what ever you want to call it) and imo those exotics are becoming to common for them to really have street cred(well less than the amount of street cred they use to have) anymore(again where i live, its gonna be a whole different story when you like in a small town with no exotics and you see one of those roll up to your local grocery store)

My buddy drives a 360 Spyder and its handling and sound is so special that I really must hand it to the OP, to make the tough decision she did.

Lowest Price:$79,400
Average Price:$97,556

Dealer gave you an even trade for a Nismo?

Fine, she has the same exact personality as Meghan Fox in this fictitious scenario, only she's not as hot, but do-able.

well if thats the case, than you would be stupid not to choose meghan fox lol

in reguards to OP though, if this isnt a troll and this is true
he got ripped off big time and if i was in OP's scenario, i would have sold the ferrari, bought a nismo 370z outright for 35-38K and twin turbo it w/boltons and a stroker kit just because

The Z is a p***y magnet. No denying. I own one too. But you can't compare a Z to a Ferrari,PERIOD. I don't care if both cars are the only two cars on the planet in the town of wackydoo, ID with a population of 20.. A ferrari is a ferrari..
