What's more, the differential in the sole Nismo Z available for testing in the U.S. failed halfway through our evaluation, leaving the car on jack stands. Several journalists who hadn't driven the car as extensively as we had were wondering how they were going to report on a car they had not actually driven. After the differential had been repaired later in the day, one of the assembled journalists unceremoniously answered that question by driving off the track at Turn 3 and destroying the car entirely.

Get Yours Soon
Nissan expects the Nismo model to account for about 5 percent of 370Z sales. The car will be available in late June with one transmission option — the six-speed manual with SynchroRev Match. Pricing will start at less than $40,000 and five colors will be available: silver, gray, black, white and red.

No Monterey Blue! MB just got more exclusive! haha

how come the nismo doesn't have the rear fog light. thats lame they could have easily taken it out of the regular 370 but god forbid an automaker lose a dollar

I'll take the front bumper, rear spoiler, and wheels please.

Thanks

yup i knew it was one of them

In the video at 23-27sec, it looks like that's a Nismo 350Z. If they did a fast lap of each car, it'd interesting to see how they compared.

Good eye!

I would love to see that as well.

I know it's been said before, but this car is begging for a 300+lb diet...

sensi09 · 06-11-2009, 02:23 AM

^The road is likely not level, but from those pics, the Nismo looks to have higher ride height....

yeah if you compare the height of the bumpers in the area where the nissan emblem is you can definitely tell that the nismo front bumper is taller. Looks like it'll hang extremely low unless the car is lifted.

I'd swap out my rear valence with the nismo's. Get rid of that godawful *******. At the same time, I think I'd rather have my regular ol' 370Z everywhere else.

...Wonder how much you can see out the rear of the Nismo??

RCZ · 06-11-2009, 12:37 PM

Other than the front bumper, I don't feel I missed out on ANYTHING when I bought my non nismo Z. Also 150lbs of downforce at 70 is weak. At least I hope its balanced.

Maybe a bigger higher rear wing + a better diffuser + an adjustable front splitter + canaards would make the downforce acceptable for a dedicated track car.

Also its silly you guys are worried about drag for your quarter mile times....fold your mirrors back lol this car isnt doing 200mph...

150lb of downforce at 70 mph is A LOT! Usually it's around 90+ that you actually start to see downforce on other cars and at 70mph that is impressive.

You do feel it on the track at 70 mph. Trust me it works.

No thanks. Big customer complaints not heard by Nissan. Big No-No in my book.
