Default Would you buy this Nismo 370Z?

There were things that held me from buying a 370z. One of them was the headlight design. I didnt want this to turn into 350z vs. 370z thread. Just wanted to see if you would favor this than what it is now. I hope 370znismoLV does not mind borrowing his car pic. Sorry for the crappy PS

Not trying that route, because there is a thread for that already. Just vote dammit.

The headlight shape has grown on me but not the buldge in it!

The 2013 370 is being shown this week at the Chicago Auto Show.
A refresh in the design is planned.
I also do not like the "notched" head&tail lights.
These may go away as well as the rear bumper fog light section
that was designed for the JDM.

I hope that would change. i wish Nissan would steer the new Nismo to more track orriented piece. Before I bought my Nismo, I test driven a lotus elise. I must say that thing was stripped with no carpets for weight saving benefits. I didnt buy it obviously because it lacks horsepower.

I'm not a big fan of the 370s yet. The nismos are pretty hot.
Couple things.. ..price, miles, condition etc??? That would be a factor for me of course

I really (really) like my 350z Nismo in white but if I had to buy a new one I might get a 370 just for the cool options it has like rev match and lighter weight. Plus its Brand new!

I just read the new press release. Another dissapointment from Nissan. The regular Z is changed more exterior wise. No horsepower increase. Bleh! The Nismo remains unchanged.

I would and I did! Well, I bought a Nismo, not the one in the OP, nor was it pearl white, but pearl white was my second choice! Weird thing is I bought a 2012, but it has a 13 on the Nismo plate....No explanation on that one.

After driving one at the track a few times, I would love to own a Nismo 370Z. They come "dialed in" pretty well from the factory. I'm still surprised Nissan's lawyers allowed it roll of the assembly line with the suspension set up the way it is.

And having driven all the different iterations of the 3.5 motor in the 350Z over the years, the Nismo 370Z is the first HP bump to really get my attention.

It's a great car.
