This is my second Z, the first was a 1974 260Z. The thing I was looking forward to the most was seeing if the new Z still had the old Z "soul". It does and more.

I get people flagging me down in traffic, gas stations, just about everywhere when I'm in this car. Love it.

Default Thanks

I went in adamant I was going to buy an enthusiast edition in Daytona Blue. They couldn't find a single Daytona Blue in the DC area that wasn't automatic. The salesman said that he had something I might like and then he drove this around the corner. At that point I knew my wallet was going to be hurting.

Try as I might, I only got them to knock about $600 off the price.

I know a lot of people thought the Nismo was kind ugly, especially the back, I was one of them. BUT if you see it in person you may just change your mind.

NICE find!!! What dealership did you get it from?! I was wondering when a dealer around here was going to get one.

DB 6Spd Enthu are a rarity these days for some reason. I got lucky and snatched the only one in the region, which still won't be here until next week; the only other 3 were in Niagra, NY, Tennessee, and Jacksonville, FL if I recall... sorry man I think you'll thank me in the long run

Found it at Brown's Sterling Nissan up by Dulles. I was referred there by USAA otherwise I would have probably not bothered with them since they're kind of far away. It literally rolled off the truck the night before I came in...sales people who weren't there thought they were going to be able to see it on Monday...muahahaha.

Yeah, DB is definitely sexy on the Z. Not too many cars look good in blue, but the 350, I dunno, I just love it. But you're right, I probably will thank you...love my Nismo.

To all about the spacers...those bastages at the dealership said they removed them, but your posts got me wondering and sure enough they were still on there. Yanked those bad boys out and no more quick in-steer...plus the bumps aren't as bad either.

Can someone explain to me what you mean by removing the spacers? I just bought my car and have not heard of people removing these..
