I wonder if tuning options for the Nismo will be limited. The fact that it has a few more HP sounds great, but it has additional weight too.

My concern is that it has a different ECU so is a tuner going to invest in cracking/tuning this ECU given that it only accounts for 5% of sales for the 370?

Would the ecu's be that different?

Otherwise, I am torn between this and a loaded touring/sport/Nav

Edit: I am also wondering if Nismo 370z is to standard 370z as Nismo 350z was to standard 350z - that is, a VAST improvement in handling.

Remember Autech had YEARS of track-testing the 350z before they built a Nismo version. This time, the Nismo 370z came right out of the gate. How much R&D went into this nismo versus how much went into the 350z Nismo?

Maybe its just the light, but it looks like the LED screen in the fuel gauge is illuminated in red rather than orange? Can anyone confirm this?

I'm thinking Autech has had 370Zs available to them long before they were ever publicly for sale.

Why no color Yellow for the Nismo or Roadster?

Edmunds did a ninja edit on their article!

Where it originally read this:

Quote:

Underneath its showy aero bits, the 2009 Nismo 370Z is no less hard-core than the 350Z Nismo. Autech still takes the standard Z-car chassis off the assembly line and welds the seams of the unit body by hand — a labor-intensive process that increases structural rigidity beyond that of a normal, spot-welded unibody. Mass dampers are then fitted between the unibody's left and right frame members to control the extra vibration inherent in a seam-welded chassis.

They edited it to now read this:

Quote:

Underneath its showy aero bits, the 2009 Nismo 370Z is a pretty hard-core machine. It's not seam-welded like the 350Z Nismo, but its chassis has been stiffened to the point that mass dampers have been fitted to control vibration.

I'd be ticked if I ordered this car on the basis of the original write-up for the special welds!

As factory track models go, the 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z is not the most hard-core beast ever built on a production line. cool car!!!!
