Well either way Im about to get a new Z. Im just wondering if I should get the Nismo or GT. While I havn't drove either yet I just wanted to hear some opinions on the nismo. While it is an amazing car and Ive read tons of great things about, Im just wondering if it lives up to its hype from first hand experience.

 

Personally I drove both the touring and the Nismo, and due to the fact it was pretty crappy out I could not get a good feel for the touring on the test drive, but I absolutly love my Nismo. I like the fact that it is unique, and that all of the additions to the car (aero kit, cloth interior, seam welds, dampers, ect... all serve a practical purpose)

When I was deciding between the two, the words of Jeremy Clarkson best describe my feeling

(Clarkson discussing the Aston Martin DB9 and DB9S *I think*) [paraphase]

"The difference may be minimial, but one day one of these [DB9S] is going to pull up next to you at a set of lights..... and your going to have to kill yourself"

I can definitly say without hesitation, I will never drive by a dealership and think "maybe I should have gotten the other version instead."

Good luck

 

get the nismo, you'll be happy with it. it lives up to the hype

 

lol great response lento and that is so true. Yea the nismo really is amazing and when u walk up to it it just seems that much better. Thats prolly the only reason I didnt test drive it when I saw it cus I know I prolly would of wanted it then and there. Ill prolly be getting it next month tho and I know they aren't really going anywhere since it seems they are having problems selling them. The 2 near me have been sitting at the dealers for months already.

 

If you can get the dealer to find you an 07 one there is a $1000-1500 rebate from the manufacturer to the individual dealership. I didnt know about this untill after I bought the car, but you can definitly get an 07 for invoice or less.'

approx 35,200

 

ok thanks for the info. I know theres one near here too, 07 with 54 miles for 33,200 so I might check it out too.
