I like how the new Nismo looks but I think they over did it just a bit. Like the ZR1. I think the 14/13 Nismo looks way better. It would be cool if they put more speed into the Nismo, as its not much of a bargain to pay $10k or moee for only a 18 horspower and like 7 torque difference? Yeah it has cosmetics and some upgrades, but it really makes the Nismo not worth getting in terms of a Camaro RS and a Camaro SS. Irs just not a significant upgrade. Now if they do add forced induction, that be a sight to see. Just my opinion

I don't think some of you realize how many thousands of dollars in structural rigidity components the Nismo Z has. Comparing it to a camaro RS and SS shows certain lack of insight. Has anyone seen what an SS looks like, flopping around a track? Without the 1LE pkg a camaro isn't in the same ballpark as a nismo.

For my personal use I can't justify the price of a Nismo. But I give Nissan top respect for putting together a solid track vehicle. Nissan did take too long to add the oil cooler and the brake cooler should have been extended outside of the Nismo model. But it's a solid value to have that much body bracing when you track your vehicle.

Yeah, no offense at all, I'm sure the upgrades they did to the nismo makes it an overall better vehicle than the 370z with sports package, but it's only a small difference is all I'm saying. I didn't say I wouldn't get one if I had the money. I rather buy aftermarket parts to make the Z better than what the Nismo Z has to offer.

And Rev Match sucks. It definately shifts better than me, but I like having control of my vehicle
