Nissan 370Z Forum  

considering trading my Nismo for this 5.0

Maybe add a 4.08's and see if it gives you the warm fuzzy feeling?

I would test drive it and decide for yourself

I would wait for a Boss 302 instead if you really want the stang or like Red said, get one with Brembos

The MSRP isn't really comparable, since Ford prices vehicles with a lot more room for movement.

That mustang would probably cost under $32K new.

Good car, as any member of "Team America!" will tell you. If only it didn't look like a mustang. Maybe 2015 will change things.

I traded mine for a 5.0 and have never looked back, and to be honest, dont miss my Z one bit, the power/torque was just TOO DAMN HIGH. Seriously, do it.

I would take the $5,000 they lop off what it's really worth and just push for FI.

IMO
1. U have a Nismo.
2. It's a Ford.
3. Plain Jane everyone has one...boring. Even GT 5's are everywhere.
4. Do whatever the f**k you want...u r driving it.

I would trade a Nismo in for the GT500 but I don't know about trading for the 5.0. It's a good car though, not denying that.

As several others have said, test drive it and see if you like it better. Both cars are pretty expensive to own. They're both big heaps of fun to drive. Mustangs are super common, Z's less so, but that's only if that matters to you. I've driven the GT. Very nearly bought one, too, but I wasn't looking to trade the Z in for it. It's a lot of performance for the buck.

If you went Camaro???? I SERIOUSLY HOPE, you went with the 1LEpkg? The 1LE takes the camaro to a whole other level for a mere $3500. The 1LE is killing mustang Gt 5.0 with track packs and burying them, while puttin'some pimp slap on a Boss 302 for about 10k less than a Boss 302.

Test drive it against a Camaro SS1LE... way more bang for the buck there...
1LE changes everything.

Nope.
I received an offer from GM for $3,000 off for any 2013 car on the dealer's lot.
The dealer gave me another $500 off, ($3,500 off total), so I got this car here.
I must say the 370z nismo felt faster than the 2SS but the 2SS is without a doubt a lot more comfortable. As you guys know, a 370z nismo has nothing, only the agressive looking body kit. 2SS even has voice activated command.

I like the new rims they have. CG's on the ride. 1LE is hard to argue against though, only if what it brings to the table is what you were after. And someone get some Raid and spray that Beetle!

heh heh, if it rains, let me know if the roof leaks. That was an early ding on them. I'm sure they've fixed it by now.
