I need to know why!



Hard to understand why you would trade this piece of art.

Don't mind the fact that these are Google images and somehow the guy on the first page found my car. I promise I'm telling the truth.

Congratulations to the OP! I'm glad she made her decision based on craftsmanship, reliability, rarity, and recognizing a remarkable value in the sports car market! I wouldn't trade my 370Z for any other car on the road!

I thought i would get this response!

Well i never said it was a easy choice but it was one i felt should be done, yes the 360 was great but i needed a car i could drive every day, and the Nismo is just that car, it handles just as great as the 360, and i even feel the power delivery is also the same, very linear and very strong and feel that the nismo could beat my 360 in a race

I also got a great deal on trade (even trade) My Nismo is fully loaded and had a sticker of 46k plus 3k ( wanted vehicle) added to the sticker to make it almost 50k out the door with tax, fees etc


I was looking at a GTR aswell but i just loved the Feel of the Nismo and how rare it is, thus the 3k mark up! Its getting tons of looks and my boyfreind thought it was a new Porsche!

Actually the NISMO is about equivalent at least in a rolling race situation. I happened to be on a closed course just minding my own business going 70mph when a 360 spyder rolled up and reved at me. Being that I was on a closed course race track I said what the hell and dropped it into 3rd gear. At the sound of my exhaust screaming the Ferrari owner responded. We took it to 130mph and it was dead even. We did this 3 times and every time I was able to hang with him. I waved after the last run and he just gave me a pissed off look and took off. My NISMO does have an upgraded exhaust but it only gives a small gain over stock.

Still, the Ferrari is definitely a looker. I've heard they aren't cheap daily drivers though so I know what you mean about being able to have something that is cheaper to DD.

I disagree with the trade, but if the OP is happy, F it, welcome to the club! Lol
