2007 Nismo Z (silver) PICs

There is no doubt the suspension is better than the other factory Zs, but it can be improved upon. The nismo Z is offered starting at 38k, I much rather pay 26 for a base model and put the 12 grand into the suspension/wheels/tires and see the nismo z in my rear view. Like I said, because it is a street car, nissan can't possibly do everything to the nismo z to make it an absolute beast because it still needs to be somewhat comfortable on the street.

I am sorry, but I have to disagree with you. The car is track ready you just need to get train to be a better pilot on the track.

Fair enough. Problem is when you go to sale your base model with $12K in performance mods you'll have to part the car out. The limited edition Nismo Z will hold its value better than a modded car as long as they don't build too many. Plus the car is covered by a full factory warranty. Different strokes.

Nope, what I am saying is that the NISMO Z will be a nice track car, with the right training benign the wheel.

To the ones talking about powerwise. This car performs better than a Porsche Cayman S. And the Cayman has less power. There is such a thing as too much power on the track.

I think its a perfect offering by Nissan. People keep talking about no extra power or how ugly it is. There will always be those people.
I guess this is how the entry stage Roush and Saleen people are treated when they pay a premium for aero and suspension as well.
You got a deal, and I think you paid exactly what its market value is. Just like I said before, i think MSRP is about 2 grand too high. Doesnt change the fact that is is a hot car and will be an attention grabber.
