Was it the most cost effective purchase when looking at performance to dollar ratio? Absolutely not. But I have fun every time I'm in my car, which I've never been able to say before. No regrets.

Greeting's KrisL,

nice to see and read your post today and were all glad your here with us on
the 370Z forum. Your post reminds me of my own situation. Although it
was way back in July of 2010 I purchased my 2010 Pearl White Nismo, I'm
at about 72,000 miles and as well the smile and the pride of daily driving
my Nismo never diminishes....We are all here on the forum because
we all love and enjoy are 370Z sports cars, be it a base, stock, modified,
or a extreme build we all share the same passion at the end of the day....

Only when I am at the track do I feel the need for a C6 powerplant. I'd love the thought of 100+ more HP, but on the street my Z competes very well without.

The article was a mixture of apples to apples and then to oranges as has been pointed out by others. The Nismo has often lost to the base sport for some reason, and this seems to be more of the same. As so often occurs the newer model is heavier than past iterations.

The part I do not understand is that the yen has been devalued and the car got more expensive in dollars.
