Default How many others on the road have you seen?

And not at a meet or a car show, there are always plenty there.

In my first year of ownership, I have only seen two other Nismos, a Nogaro and and PPW. Thank goodness there are only about 1600 others out there.

Two for me as well.
I imagine most Nismos aren't daily driven.

I've seen several other black ones, a red one, a silver one, in the last 10 months i've had my car. South FL is a good place for seeing rare cars though. I've probably seen far more lambos or ferrari's than Nismo Z's. Way more GT-R's than Nismos for sure.

Because the suspension doesn't make for a very smooth ride. I only drive mine once a week, it's mainly used for road racing.(the way it should be)

They're suppose to be making 12,000 GT-R's a year, so yes, nismo Z's are rarer than GT-R's.

I've only seen 1 while driving around ATL. I probably have better odds of seeing Sasquatch up here in Athens.

I've seen a handful in Los Angeles; 5 that I can remember.

About two weekends ago I saw two Nismos in Venice about a minute apart. I wasn't in my car or it would've been 3 random Nismos in one place.

I used to see them all the time. A silver one, and a red one. Have not seen another in close to a year. Not complaining, I love the rarity.

Any of you guys been at the light and there's a regular Z in the lane next to you? And you feel kind of bad because your Nismo looks so much better?

Nope, not really. I have yet to ever come up to a light with another Z in the other lane.

For the past two years I've owned my nismo, I've seen only one other nismo Z, it was silver and I saw it last fall. There is however another red one rolling around, but I've never seen it. Whenever my friends or relatives see it they think it's me.
