Default Does the nismo perform...

Hello,

I'm looking into buying a 350z nismo soon(summerish). I think they look awsome, I ike the sound of the normal z, how much did nissan change the sound for the nismo?
What is insurance for you guys/ladies?
Does the vpc perform its job like the normal z?
Im not worried about a "rough" ride because i am used to my mom's Toyota mr2 spyder's ride and my DSM's ride. So if there is any general information about the nismo I should know just let me know please and thanks.

Summer is 8 months away. You could be the worlds most knowledgeable NISMO expert by then.

Okay my bad i didn't think of that sorry.
Like how its drives every day to be a daily driver, I have my dsm for the real power.
Gas milage wise, not to big of a deal but just wondering.
One question, is it possible to do a burnout pretty easly with out water?
I will think of some more stuff.
Thanks

that part made me laugh, you must be a honda fanboy?

yes, without TCS turned on it will do a burn out without water, I hope thats not the only deciding factor whether or not you get a nismo.

Excatlly, i just summed it up. I"m a total noob to the 350z market, that is why I am here haha.

This would be the first time to drive a car that is six speed also.

well if your looking for sheer speed in a straight line the nismo Z isn't exactly the type of car you should be looking into. Actually, any 350z for that matter.

I'm not here for that, I'm looking at the nismo because it looks exotic and could make a good daily driver i would think.

Nismo Z's are OK daily drivers, only if your used to the tight/hard suspension, but do it a favor every now and again and take it to the track, where it belongs.

Im not worried about a "rough" ride because i am used to my mom's Toyota mr2 spyder's ride and my DSM's ride. I would take it to the track, i prolly wont drag race the z if i buy it, the closes road course is like 3-4 hours away in oklahoma.
