I know some people here think the regular Z looks better but I like the look of the Nismo better.

But after 3 years, I got used to the look and missed what it didn't have. I looked at the specs of the 2013 370Z nismo and it appears now you can add as options a better stereo system, homelink, bluetooth but still no NAV and a backup camera. I don't expect the ride quality to be softer though but I am sure for most new Nismo owners, it isn't a concern

Here's a pic of my old 370z Nismo a few weeks before I sold it

If you love your Niz and just want a better stereo, backup camera, Bluetooth, and Homelink why don't you just add them? I missed all that stuff too when I got mine so that's what I did...I also know a lot of other Nismo owners that did the same. Easy peasy and probably less $$$ than what you'll lose on the trade, with better results. Works way better than the Nissan Nav w/Bose and even the high-end factory system in my wife's car...I'm sure it'll be better than the Mustang too. Not hating on the Stang...but if those amenities are your reason for swapping, then interior mods might be the answer that you seek.

Thanks Cuban Z
actually, I got a Camaro 2SS, not a Mustang 5.0
what happened was GM and the dealer gave me an offer i couldn't refuse: $3,500 off MSRP. So, I pretty much got RS appearance package, Navigation, Dual Mode performance exhaust, Hurst short throw shifter at no charge.
On Looks, it's no contest but the camaro does come with homelink, bluetooth, a backup camera, voice activated command, 2 extra seats and a much softer ride. Lots of creature comforts so I had to do it. Sorry

this is my new ride, the black one. It was cool that the dealer had all of their cars indoor.

Every year since the camaro came out. Chevy has been doing what they gotta do to improve the car. It's not as flawed today as it was in 2010/2011.
So enjoy your ride and have fun. See if you can find FE6 suspension parts for your ride?

**inferno fvckin' orange** Hot!!!!!

You can get a rear view mirror/homelink/backup camera as an option. Dealer installed option. Replace the head unit with a Kenwood/Alpine/Pioneer/jvc Headunit with pre-built nav or, Get a HU that can stream the Nav from your phone...

The first thing i did when i rented this car for the first time. (SS model) I drove in it cruising all day. I spent pretty much 10 hours cruising, (minus bathroom breaks n chow) I never felt so good after 10 hours of driving.
The best seats in a non premium car imho. They feel Halo caddy sedan good while giving great sports car hold. Awesome seats without a brand name on em'.

I understand. Most of us Z owners had this problem i know i did. So i went with a fully loaded Z. Because that was more important to me nav, bose system ect. But lucky for me i can add the amuse kit to make it look sexy.
