Default New car time Maybe...

Whats up guys need some help!!! Well advice atleast. Some of you know my cars others do not, I am at a crossroads trying to decide if I want to push my car to the max and fully build it. Or sell it to this guy for a decent price then turning around and buying a 370z and ofcourse dropping a Twin Turbo in it. I love my car and get mad props for it everywhere I go. So help!! and thanks for the advice

370z > 350z anyday. Hands Down. Last I checked, 350z's even TT'd can't keep up w/ Cayman S's on the road course. But if you do get a 370z, get the Nismo edition for the seam-welded chassis.

We need more 370s in the group. I've only seen two up close in the Mid-A: 1) that chick that came up to the Columbia FatBurger meet, 2) that dude who came out during the Spring/Summer Shenandoah Valley Run.

Waiting for better weather to see DavidV's new one in person.

Doo eeet! Doo eeet!

BTW, if you're getting a 370z, we're going to the road course.

I didnt think Nismo 370's had a box welded frames. Maybe I am wrong.

All Nismo editions have seam-welded chassis (even the 350z version.) Hence the extra 8-10k you have to cough up LOL. It surely went somewhere important! The Nismo editions are the only ones that can keep up with Porsche's Cayman S on the road course. In fact, Nissan designed the Nismo package around the purpose of kicking Porsche's AZZ!!!

Underneath its showy aero bits, the 2009 Nismo 370Z is a pretty hard-core machine. It's not seam-welded like the 350Z Nismo, but its chassis has been stiffened to the point that mass dampers have been fitted to control vibration.

I love everything on the nismo but the front bumper....

I think this nismo 370z is waaaay too simple at the front.

I would trade it in for a very low mileage 350 Nismo. Then swap out the seats for full leather seat and install a full digital Bose factory sound system including the 10" subwoofer. I have seen people turn them into race cars but who out there has made the Nismo a full luxury sports car! Its like turning it into a Grand Touring interior! Very cool! Forgive me guys I love the feel of leather To me the feel and smell adds to the sportscar feel! Just my own opinion. Please no Nismo bashers! I love the true purpose of the Nismo Edt, just not the interior. (Other than the white face tach)

the Bose is hardly worth installing, even if it is given to you for free...it sounds horrendous
