2015 Z Retrograde

vin17 · 09-26-2014, 10:09 AM

Just noticed on 2015 Nissan 370Z® Specs & Pricing | Nissan USA
that the Synchro Rev and LSD are only available on the 2015 NISMO. I.e. the Touring with Sport Package is no longer available as with the 2014. I haven't checked all the specs, but it looks like Nissan is retrograding the other models to force enthusiasts into the NISMO variants. Boy, am I glad I got the '14 Touring with Sport Package for everyday driving!

*Correction - I was mistaken. Both are available on the Sport and Sport Tech, but not on the Touring model. Therefore, you can't get a Touring model with a Sport package as with the 2014. I'm still glad I got the '14 Touring with Sport Package for everyday driving!

A serious enthusiast is going to replace the LSD and syncro rev isn't a deal breaker to most.

No. They are not, I think you are way off base.

Taking your Z to a shop to get an aftermarket LSD is not the same thing as a catback exhaust.

The syncro-rev match in my sport package was a major selling point, its a great feature.

If I had to be forced to get a Nismo to get an LSD, I would not have bought a 370z.

The only thing I can see with the 2015 MY, is the NISMO gets the 7AT. Personally, I would not take the bodykit changes to get the 7AT. Honestly, I am ignoring the whole 2015 lineup............

I got a 2013 touring/ sport/ navy/ manual left over in 2014 w/ 8 miles and side by side with a '14 the only difference was the price. She is my mistress as my wife calls her. The synch rev is wonderful when I wear boots to work and only on the weekends I get to heel toe around town w/ my clogs, glad I got it but i didn't know when I bought it if it would be an useful feature and it is, my 2 cents ...soon pics of her w/ snow boots
