Default Trading my 04 touring Z for either a...

...07 Nismo Special Edition Z comming out in July or

07 Enthusiast Z with the nismo parts factory installed.

Talked to my dealer about the nismo z comming out and i just found out it doesn't come in Daytona Blue! Just in Red, white, black and silver. Not good for me, so he suggested taking an Enthusiast Z and adding the nismo parts then quoting me a price.

The Nismo Z comming out has a MSRP or $38K but he said they are only making about 10% of those so it'll most likely be marked up.

Hopefully I will get a good quote on how much to make the Enthusiast Z a Nismo.

Does anyone know an advantage with going for the already pre-installed Nismo Z comming out in July.
Or is going the other route better?

Here's what I'm losing in trading my Z.
2004 Touring Model
Automatic Transmission :P
Heated Leather Seats, Blose System
Crawford Headers, Megan Resonated Test Pipes, Nismo Front Lip, Nismo Sideskirts, fiber images oem cf hood, varis cf b-pillers, Veilside v3 Spoiler, Greddy Evo II Exhaust, PopCharger.

Hopefully I can swap out my Volk GT-7 19" Rims and my AVIC-D2 Navigation onto the new car.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

-Geo

dude, go back to stock, the dealer won't give you more money for all that stuff

losing auto is a plus
losing leather
other than that not a big deal

or an evo or Sti due promptly. also you can always find a low miles 2003-04 cobra and go twice as fast, jejeje. only you wont be able to stop...

personally, the Nismo is hot, exclusive and all that crap but the car doesn't go as it should. I would have expected a better ECU reflashed to 20-25 more hp with Nismo cams to make it fun.

You're comparing the wrong thing bro, if you wanna compare that red Nismo vs. a Nismo DB Z then this should be more appropriate. However, if I were in your shoes I would go for a White 07 Nismo Z

Keep what you got bro! I don't really see a huge incentive in what you plan to do.

Why in God's name would you trade that car in? Just take the spoiler off and it's a beast.
