I hate to tell all you Nismo owners but I dont really think they are going to hold there value as much as you hope they will! The fact that they are a numbered car is the only thing they have going! I ordered a 2006 Grand Touring with the Nismo R-tune package! When I recieved the car I was told by my dealer that there was only 2 others like it (at that time) on the east coast! The fact that my car is a Grand Touring coupe is rare enouph but when you add in the R-tune package thats rarity! I actually almost made the mistake of trading my car in for a 2007 Nismo edt. But when I looked at what I would be giving up just own a numbered car it wasnt worth it! I love everything about my car! I have added alot of other upgrades since (including a AAM 3" true dual exhaust this morning) purcase! To me the leather and great sound system helps make the sports car feel! And other than the boxed in frame your car has absolutly nothing that mine doesnt have. All of the factory Nismo items that my car came with actually is alittle more impressive than your! I had the Nismo V.2 front fascia added to complete the look! IMO I dont care for the body kit that is on Nismo edt! The rear bumper is just to open! And the wing is to big for my taste! IMO a loaded factory car will be worth more because that draws more people at auctions now! I dont think that will ever chage! I watch car auctions all the time! Factory race cars dont always bring alot of money! With the way they look it IMO will hurt there value! Kind of like Chrysler wing cars!

I think everyone is misunderstanding my point. I think the Nismo is a hot car. I just don't like the fact that people are afraid to do mods to it because they think it is going to rise in value. A car like that is meant to be bought, heavily modded and taken to the track. That is what it was built for. Sure buy one and daily drive it for looks if you want. Just don't tell me you are making an investment.

Other than boxed welded frames and white face gauges your car is a track model with an (IMO) over the top body kit! The exhaust isnt as good as the actuall Nismo I had on mine! Its actually a very close copy of the factory exhaust that comes on all 350Z's, niether is the suspension! Do some research, look up the parts yourself! Call Eddie @ mynismo and ask him to compare the parts on a Nismo Edt to actual Nismo R-tune and S-tune parts! I do like the color of the Nismo Z's wheels but they are the exact same as the offset wheels that came on my Grand Touring (just a different color)! I am putting a modest 425 whp to the ground at 7.3lbs of boost! Wanna race!!!!!! The 0 to 60 time in your z isnt even better than mine before the Greddy twin turbo install! Now tell me how your z is A TAD BETTER THAN MINE! With the cams, cold air, headers, exhaust, and flywheel/clutch kit (plus stillen test pipes) that was on my car I was putting the same power to the ground as yours and with the added wieght from the heavier frame I am preatty sure I could run a better 1/4 mile than you! The way it sat last summer I ran 13.8 at 103 mph! I bet your z probably coudnt even run that fast! Now this year I have been trying to break in my JWT clutch/flywheel , I havent run it yet! Now with this said, I am in no way trying to put down Nismo 350Z's I think factory race bread cars are really cool! Like I said yesterday I almost traded my 06 in on a Nismo edt! But other than being a Numbered car I would have been stupid to trade in my car for a Nismo edt! I am preatty sure that people who know 350Z's will agree with me in my point of view!

Obviously you have some insecurities you're dealing with giving the amount of bull you're spewing on this thread. If you want I'll let you touch my NISMO at ZdayZ. I'll even take you for a ride around the parking lot for a beer.

Hell there is a couple in my town that has 2 black ones! You can see there dyno sheets on another nismo link! I have seen them alot already!

What will suck the most is when some cheap aftermarket company starts poping out crappy knockoffs! Trust me, it will happen! It always does. Nice color, I dont see silver Nismo's . Just black, red, and white!

Thats the point I am trying to make to you! Here they are the ordinary! There are almost the same amount of Nismo's as there are other models. Whats color is yours Hreasvelg? I have the only F/I car around and the only one with my body kit! At this point I dont care about resale value 25 yrs from now do you?

Is that the best you can come up with? I am trying to be honest IMO about this. And you just come off without facts or anything that isnt childish! If they are laughing at me I couldnt see them as they are always in my rearview mirror!
