Marketing...
I think it poses a bit of a conundrum. Its a sportier version of a sports car. It gets a rougher ride and more aggressive styling, but only slightly more so. This kind of thing doesn't make much sense to me sometimes. If you are going to make a racier version of a car, then make it. Like someone said..better seats, less weight, stickier rubber, better suspension, etc. It feels like they just change a few tidbits and give it a badge and then it sells more. Where I come from, that's called marketing, not a track focused version. Take BMW's M division and Merc's AMG... thats what Nismo should be like. Like a Scuderia, like a Black Series... thats what the Nismo 370Z should be like. Thats not to say I wouldnt take the Nismo if I had the choice again, but I don't feel as bad about the decision as they should have made me feel. Last edited by RCZ; 07-11-2009 at 10:04 PM. |

NISMO is NOT for track or anything performance based:
IL Track Tested: 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z vs. 2009 Nissan 370Z Touring | Straightline Blog on Edmunds' Inside Line here is where a touring model out performs a nismo and in most cases you find the nismo equal or performing very slightly better, dont let it fool you. i've looked so much into this whether i want a nismo or base model, here is my old thread before i made up my mind: Nismo Body Kit |

People shouldnt base anything and everything on a single magazine(online or print) review.

Well guess the 370z NISMO fails compared to mine. Sad to see that. I knew when I drove it, it felt like it wasn't as good.
Just to compare, the 07 NISMO had better numbers. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=121814 Quote:

besides if it is or isn't better in anything than the touring model the differences all show that there is no significant difference like you would when buying a civic ex vs a civic si (just an example, but alos a 2.5k price difference) |
