Seats work, but aren't spectacular. Push back on the headrest and you can feel the metal rods in your back. Did he even touch the brake pedal or comment on them at all? I am a fan of the whole 2 tone package though, and that's very subjective.

Exactly... Its called active head restraints.

Almost all of the "changes" and "improvements" her is talking about are the Nismo package from 2009. I wish the red striping wasn't just stickers.

On second thought, "put it to the test" for 8 seconds shows how fast our 370z is!

And I totally agree with your second point!

So has the navi been confirmed for US Nismo models? It has been the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a PW Nismo. Love the integration of Navigation with system information and car stats. The look of an aftermarket double din unit kill it IMO.

Stoked to see it with the new black accents as well!

Nissan 370Z NISMO
The 2014 370Z NISMO, which is set to go on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide this summer, follows the new NISMO design theme with distinctive new exterior and interior accents. Enhancements for 2014 include:

New dark gray coloring is added to the front and rear fascias, lower side sills, side mirrors and NISMO rear spoiler, with each element (except side sills) featuring NISMO-style red pinstripe accents
Solid Red replaces the previous Magma Red as one of four 370Z NISMO exterior color choices
Interior enhancements include the addition of a new steering wheel with Alcantara® appointments and red accents, and a red NISMO tachometer
Continues to offer 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, sport-tuned suspension and brakes and 19-inch forged aluminum-alloy wheels
Offered in one fully equipped model
Available late summer 2013

Your welcome

I did read that bit. Was just wondering if anyone had any extra input.

The dealers in Tucson all say they've been trained in the new model, yet say navi will not be an option lol. Seems like another case of the customer educating the rep ha.

Much obliged Z_ealot

I like how he says that the steering wheel is the part of the car that the driver touches 100% of the time, just as he takes both hands off the wheel.

Only a race car driver would say the Nismo has a nice smooth ride without being too harsh.

A race car driver being paid to say it that is.
