Default Nismo #0412 checking in, coming from Cammed C6 Z06

Hello guys just traded in my cammed Z06 for the Nismo!!! Don't know why don't know how but I did it!! lol. Actually I owned an DE 350z before I got into the Z06 so now back to the 350z but an HR and its a NISMO!! Well so far I'm pretty happy with it and I can enjoy it everyday, this Nismo came with an Stillen G3 intakes and HKS Dual exhaust already but performance is not really a big thing for me anymore. Below I posted some pics of the 2 cars at the dealer before I let the Z06 go I'm planning to put on some coil overs and new set of aggressive wheels (prefer flat black) or keep this and slap on some 295s for the rears, whats y'all think?

Thanks guys!!! Yeah it is kinda nice to be back into the Z, still misses my Z06 A LOT tho, kinda nice to have one of the fastest car on the street lol. But then again I don't really get a chance to drive my z06 much anymore, in the past 4 months I only driven it like 5 times or less so I don't see a point owning it anymore.

Yeah but they are both coupes. Won't you be driving the Z the same amount as the Vette?

If I had the option to either have a C6 Z06 or a Nismo, I'd choose the Nismo.

Seeing the amount I've put into my Nissy it would probably be the Nismo as well. But stock for stock, maybe the Z06!!

I have enjoyed modding my Z, and can see where a cammed Z06 can be boring....

Having driven both a 550+rwhp Z06 and my Nismo, I'd have to say the edge goes to the Nismo for the "overall" win. The Vette is scary fast, but the thing also feels like its going to eat your first born; very difficult to drive at the limit, and it doesn't give much warning, if any when it reaches the limit. I did a track day with my dad driving the Z06, and I was driving the Nismo. Although the Vette certainly pulled away from me in the straights, I was able to carry much more speed through the corners and get the power to the ground quicker and had smoother transitions. If I was 16 and only cared about what happens when I smash the loud pedal, it'd be the Z06, all day. But, those days are gone, and I want the best "package" in a vehicle. Very few cars offer such great performance for the price. Maybe some day, I'll have one of each. But for now, I'll have to settle for the 350z with a built N/A set-up.
