2007 Nismo Z (silver) PICs

If you don't like the body kit fine. Just appreciate the car for what it is. The first US factory Nismo Z car every built. The car is not for everyone. Only a few will truly get it. Just don't be jealous when one pulls up beside you........

All i have to say is wait till you see one in person before commenting on the body kit . Then watch you call up nissan and beg for the body kit . It will happen to some trust me. But some are right different strokes for different folks .

I much rather see the nismo z have a nice clean body kit (or none at all) and a killer suspension/brake/tire setup since that's what's going to be most useful on a street car and yield bang/buck performance. Not some ridiculous body kit that adds 5 lbs of force @ 120mph while mucking up the lines of the car. I don't know about you but I know of plenty of cars that don't have ridiculous body kit setups that will have no problem ripping the nismo z a new one on the track. If they want to incorporate more downforce/diffusers there are cleaner ways to do it than that. Besides how many people you think that are going to buy it are ever going to take it to a road course and utilize that ridiculous looking kit?

I don't have to be an automotive design master to determine that the body kit is hideous, and that it ruins the lines of the car (at least the rear). There are some forum members on here that would buy nismo for the sake of it being nismo, which I think is silly, but hey if it floats their boat more power to them.

Saw one of these in person for the first time last night. To be expected, it looked much better than the pictures I've seen. Besides the looks, a lot of thought and race engineering went into it as well. Anyone who owns one should be proud to drive it.

I have two old school Z's that IMHO are the sweetest looking design ever created. A true ICON of automotive design yet many here don't even realize the connection to the modern 350Z. I think the Nismo Z is a true "Track" model complete with race winning engineering incorporated into the car all for a price less than the convertible 350Z. Out.
