if you want something you don't have to worry about losing value by modding, get the 08 gt.

if you want your car to keep it's value (collector car) by remaining stock and having a little metal plate with a number on it, get the nismo. imo, the nismo looks like a catfish with the a** end blown out, but that's just me.

Not a choice, the Nismo! I too was faced with the same decision, Touring vs. Nismo, but after seeing the PPW Nismo, decision made. The re-sale value was also an important decision maker, IF I ever get to that point.

Yeah maybe the a$$ end is a little unusual, but I get more looks in the Nismo than any other car I've ever owned. Feels good to be noticed!

I you want to blend in, get the Grand Touring. If you want to stand out, get the Nismo.

Did you mean to say "did you see what the new M3 did to the Nismo 350Z?" Unless you saw a different video than tipo16v posted.

The M3 didn't destroy the 350Z or anything. But it did start out in the back of the pack and make its way passed all the other cars and eventually pass the 350Z.

Thats only because "the drift king" Keiichi Tsuchyia, performed a flawless drift in the end corner. Not allot of drivers can do that...... if any one else was driving the Z would probably have finished 1st.. At any rate.... when the Z and M3 are on the same track its always a good race...... anyone remember the 350z shock video.... the regular 2003 track model won the checked flag on that race.....
