Yeah being single or married doesn't really matter. It's about finding someone who supports your passion and being smart with ur $$$$ I have a 2017 370z 6mt sport, 2012 g37 coupe 2012 Camaro 2ss and am getting a GT-R next year and I'm married lol
I have a 370z and I love everything about it , driving around I turn heads and people always love the car and come up to me and talk about it , perfect car
The maintenance on your 370z Nismo is 1/10 of the GT-R. Your brake job cost is $450 while the GT-R is $4,500. Gear oil in your rear diff and transmission is $250 while GT-R cost is $2,500. You can get away with a 2 tires at a time tire change while GT-R is all 4 at a time and GT-R tires last around 6,000 miles because the way they set them up. If you blow the GT-R transmission costs is around $22,000 while 370z is $1,600. My Nismo is cheap and fun to drive. I'm keeping mine. They only sell around 500 a year state side so it's pretty rare to see.
Good call. I love my Z and would love a GTR but can't afford one right now. You can always twin turbo the set up if you want, but most people keep it naturally aspirated. It has enough power to be fun and keep up with some of the big boys but it's not in supercar territory unless you TT it. I'm not sure if I want to just keep mine and TT it or just trade it in on the next generation Z. We'll have to wait and see what it looks like.
I'm looking at the supercharger kit for like $6k later at the end of my build. I believe installation is about $3k. I prob won't do it but we'll see after 2020 and how much disposable income I have then. I'll be done paying off my 2015 in 2018 and I won't finish my build until sometime 2019 so 2020-2021 we'll see.I was reading in the forums except to save about $20k for a TT system for upkeep and if anything goes wrong. I don't have that kind of $$$. :p
kafaya77 Installation shouldn't cost more than $1500. If it does, then they are robbing you. Titan motorsports in Orlando, FL can install a Stillen kit in about 8-10 hours. At $150/hour that's about $1200-1500.
thanks for the info. i didn't get a quote myself I saw someone else mention the 3k install. I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to get it done. $1200-1500 isn't bad at all.
To be honest a person who bought a GTR is not worried about the maintenance, supposed to have the budget to solve it easy, if you ask for a loan to pay it in 1,0000 and you don't have money really it's a very stupid thing do it . Go back to your reality and buy a 1996 Kia gas saver
I have an 09 Nismo 370 Z. Upgraded from a 350 Z and this is the best car that I ever had. Never had a problem with my seats for long trips or as my daily driver. I think the name Recaro sways peoples opinion just because of the name and what its replacing. Alcantara is used from Nissan to Lamborghini, it's for sports cars to promote more grip. I never heard of it being easy to get dirty or making you sweaty, leather does that. I've never had a car in which I get asked about and stared at like I do in my Z. Theres a group of kids where I live and when I drive down the street they chase my car and scream for me to rev her up. It's fast, nimble, good looking and does what I want it to when I drive hard. From listening to your review it seems to me that your not truly invested in the car. I mean 4 months in you thought of trading in the Z and you did in 6 months. Now after owning the Z for 6 months your set on trading this one in after a year to 2 yrs. That's not long term. It seems you want to use these cars to get the GTR, which is fine ive done that, but you should choose your words closely I'm a member of a Z club and its members cherish their cars. I'm not trying to diss you man I like your vids and its cool to see how others perceive their cars, so to give a thorough review you need more than 2500 miles in 6 months.
Mateusz Zima It's getting replaced this month. We are getting one at the end of this month, and we don't even know what it looks like. So you will prob only have one this summer, hopefully cause I'll get one too, but eh...what can you do
I had a 2007 NISMO 350Z #44. Loved the car and do miss it. Ever since that model, all the NISMOs haven't been as TRACK worthy as it though. They softened them up a lot.
Watch UA-cam videos on maintenance on GT-R. I almost bought a GT-R and my mechanic explained what it took to maintain one. I bought the 370z Nismo and I really love driving this car. Bros FOURR Speed posts really good videos on the Nismo.
Devin the transmission costs $22,000 and the transmission has lots of problems. Read the warranty on the car. Nissan has a reputation of not honoring the transmission warranty. It takes 10 quarts of fluid which cost $135 a quart. If you think a GT-R is cheap to operate you better look into GT-R maintenance costs. Any idea what it takes to build a car to go 194 mph. The balance of the car or the brakes to stop it from that speed. We're talking about the GT-R not the GT-K.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I’m in Australia. Right hand drive here. I haven’t driven the nismo. I’m aiming for a 2014/15 manual 370. Finding one with low km is the key. Great videos. Glad I found your 4 year old videos. What are you driving now?
Oh cool! You really cant go wrong with a Z! I ended up trading this for a GTR. Still own the GTR 4 years later and have it up to 700 HP. Owned a 2020 Supra for 2 years and just sold it to buy the new 2023 Z. Check out our latest videos. I have over 100 videos on the GTR and Supra ;) And will have plenty on the new Z
Rich, the GT--R is a super car. You don't go to pep boys to buy brake pads and rotors. A car that is made to go over 200 mph needs to be serviced by specialist. Call Nissan for a quote if you think I'm making figures up. The pads for my 370z Nismo for the front costs $275 and then another $275 for the rear. Check with Nissan. And also check the price on transmission oil change on the GT-R. 10 quarts needed at $135 a quart.
My dad had a g35 sport coupe. 6 speed Brembos sport suspension etc...if you knew how to drive it that car would run! If you messed up man!! It made the car look like it was just for show. I love that it’s an amazing car! Will do 160 quiet easily, handles, drifts, sounds good, looks good, luxury, what more could you ask for???
I know this is long after you have already gotten the GT-R but I'd like to get it out htere about the maintenance costs of owning a GT-R. I only have a 370Z sport 6MT but when I was at the Nissan dealership the service manager, their senior tech and I were looking over the maintenance schedules for a customer who had his GT-R in for service and all I say is it blew our minds. Anybody contemplating getting this car needs to look over the realistic cost of maintenance before making a buying decision. I used to own a Porsche that was not cheap to maintain but it didn't compare to the GT-R.
The Nissan dealer is a joke to be honest. They pretty much charge 4X the cost on anything that says GTR. I have owned my GTR for 4 years. Every 35k miles, it needs the transmission and diffs flushed. That's $400 worth of oil. You can do it yourself or pay a shop. I had a performance shop do mine and it was like $100 labor. I did a power steering flush at 35k miles. Cost me less than $20. I do an annual oil change which costs $40. And I did new brake pads that cost $110 for all 4 wheels total. That's all I have spent and it has never given me trouble. Very reliable car and as long as you do the work yourself, its dirt cheap to maintain. Nissan dealer is the biggest rip off ever to maintain a GTR. Here's my 4 year update vid : ua-cam.com/video/BfM1T6Yj8EA/v-deo.html
Just got the 2017 sports tech like 4 months ago. I freaking love it. I got about 4k on it now. I am almost at the stage of doing some modifications to it.
Keep the Z ! The Nismo will be a sought out model in a few years...especially when Nissan messes up the next generation ...I think it's going to look like a 2 dr Maxima...with some wide fender flares to make it look like a sports car. I'd wait a few yrs and buy a newer version of the GT-R , low milage , garage kept...and not beat to hell.
FAALL , your vision is a little blurry given all the performance enhancement and the quality from 350 to the 370 , how can you even say that ? Im on my 5th Z ...so I love them all , but a 350 is in no way shape or form better or competes with a 370 let alone a Nismo....watch some more videos bro . I have a 17 white Nismo running at about 380 hp and she'll run !!
My 2015 Red 370z Nismo got hail damaged, while getting repaired I had them add a Seibon CF Hood and black out the top. I think blacking out the roof should be your next mod.
Thank you from one sports car guy to another. Surprised only 2500 miles. I would be freaked out about rock chips on the front. Did you plasticate the front?
I got mine two weeks ago, looks exactly like yours, fog light is functional in uk! How you finding it? I got a 2017 6 months old, 3k miles $30,000, my mate drove mine he says its quick car handles gd, hes gt a tuned e92 m3
I owned a 350Z back in the day (now I own a 2018 Mustang GT after owning a Challenger Shaker) and I loved the car, but that car along with the 370Z needs more factory power. You do not need 600H.P. in it, but if Nissan could put a de-tuned version of GTR motor and at least get it to 450h.p to make it competitive to base Corvette, that would be a good move.
I just found out that 370z nismo comes with shipping spacers on front springs from factory so hopefully you or the previous owner removed them and you might want to do a video about it so other nismo owners can be aware of the spacers
Question, is there a huge huge difference in ride 370z vs nismo. How much harsher is nismo vs the 370z, im looking at moving to nismo, but take 3 hr trips is the nismo bucket seat able to handle that. I know you have had both, what about noise levels between both?
Major difference! I wouldnt buy another base Z. I'd only get another Nismo because it drove so much better. And the bucket seats were sooo comfortable! Base Z seats were too short for me and i didn't like them. 2015 Nismo is where its at. And they hold value well
Great vid.I'm in a sport with plans to upgrade to a Nismo. I feel the way you feel about my sport vs other sports cars. But I never drove a GTR. I agree the Z has a supercar feel. Throw in the nismo suspension n u just took it there 100%.
The Z34 will def hold its value being the Nismo version the new upcoming Z35 will be a 3L V6 Twin turbocharged car with 400BHP from the crank. And it will be paired with the Dual Clutch gearbox. So it will lose the charm of a NA full manual car. Also the next gen of car are now pairing with the hybrid dirve system. Weather it will be a good thing or be like the NSX NC1 which is crap is still up in the air. Also used 350Zs are getting cheaper and may replace the 240SX as the cheap drift platform. The other UN-molested RWD sport car which is still NA and has a manual gearbox will still be the BRZ/GT86
still not 100% sure. we just have to see. look at the NSX and the upcoming Supra. Both no longer have a manual and they give you a 9 speed auto for the NSX and a 6/7 speed DCT since the engine and gearbox is shared with the new BMW Z4
@@MagicAyrtonforever I used to rag on the Z cars too. Then I was lucky enough to toss a 2015 nismo around some backroads. And now I own one. These cars feel amazing and the power, while could always use more, feels at place in it's package. Fun on the streets and even more fun at the track.
Did nissan solve fuel starvation issues on 370z 2015+ model years? Or are they like BMW: by ignoring (catastrophic engine failure with spun crank hub on N55/S55) they do not admit to the flaw and don't have to take responsibility?
I am interested in buying a manual nismo, my only experience with the manual trans on the Nissan's is a friends G35 coupe. I did not like the late engagement on the clutch. How does the 370 compare? Is the clutch engagement adjustable? Would waiting for the new exedy clutch in the 2018s be worth while?
Wow!!! Look what I have started.. I am sure you guys know everyones situation is different...i have two boys, ages 16 & 9. They both are in private schools, and have been from the day one..I will not tell you what I pay in tuitions. I can go on, and on but I'll stop here..
You say you got bored of the red Z? But then say the Nismo pretty much the same as the standard 2009 with a few upgrades. But then say you love the Nismo. I don't really see the logic. Then you say it's a night and say difference. I'm confused.
No it's not same, that's like saying regular charger and Srt charger is same with "few upgrades " Nismo has suspension upgrades , exhaust, tuned 18hp and better looking exterior and interior and better handling and sound, all from the factory stock.
My mate wants to get the gtr, 17 plate but you should go 2012+ make sure you take out warranty + 3k spare at all times lol, my bro looking to get gtr too
Bros FOURR Speed...I'm wanting to get a 370Z, can I take a base model Z and buy NISMO parts for it to make it drive,look & feel like a NISMO 370Z? And if so, where is a good website where I could buy original NISMO parts?
You will end up spending a lot more to make a true Nismo. Plus Nissan welds more of the framing of the Nismo together compared to the normal Z. A 2015+ Nismo is the way to go hands down
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That is two times you've mentioned the 2015 and later NISMO's. Well, I'm flying to Florida to buy a black 2014 370Z NISMO because it has super low miles and I really like the whole exterior (with the bigger wing and all). Why do you think the NISMO package on a 2014 is not as good as the 2015? Thanks in advance for a reply.
Raffi Hovnanian considering Infiniti has replaced the g37 with the q60 and it's 400hp 3L turbo and given the z and g have shared engines, I'm betting there's a new z on the way with the 3L turbo
Is a style life to change your car every 4 years for many people middle class, and most of the cases are cars under 28k usd, but a 40k car isn't easy to replace it , then keep them for 7 years or more is good. But if you have a bunch of money , change it every 6 months hjajajahajaj
Every time you trade in you have to pay sales tax. Like $1500 every time. Which is criminal. The Gov should not endlessly be able to collect sales tax on the same car if it is bought and sold multiple times throughout its life.
Good point. But when you trade in a car you actually save money on taxes. I paid $400 worth of taxes trading the red Z for this one. When I bought my Genesis Coupe, I didn't trade anything in, that was $1k worth of taxes on a much cheaper car.
TopLift what the hell are you talking about. You can either pay a portion or all the taxes included with your trade if it's worth enough. Or you can have them roll the taxes into the length of your term, which will make your payments go up. You pay sales tax on everything, if you can't afford it to bad.
Devin Tolliver - its not about affording it. Sometimes adults like to discuss general ideas, make observations. Not just talk about specific examples that only apply to yourself personally . We left Britain because of a tax on tea, and many other things. Now the US gov taxes everything. My point is if a used car is bought and sold 30 times in america the government collects a sales tax 30 times on that used item. If i sold u something like a used golf clubs for example on craigslist you are technically suppose to report it and pay taxes on it
Bros FOURR Speed - ok I didn't know that. I have always sold my cars myself never traded. So I was coming from that perspective. Mostly talking about different people repeatedly paying taxes on the same used item
TopLift 1) buying from a private seller does not require you to report to the IRS. That was a dumb statement. 2)"every time you trade in a car you pay sales tax" you don't pay taxes on the car you TRADE IN. Another dumb comment. 3) People who can afford it don't complain about sales tax. So I would say it has a lot to do with what's affordable.
so if you're trully into performance, in 2017, why get a manual trans? Sure, back in the 80s, only a fool opted for an auto over a manual, but the converse is true today (as much as it shocks me to say this). Get the auto and WIN races.
I've never lost on a racetrack to my automatic counterparts. It's the driver and always will be. If you wanna live in magazines and look at 2 second improved lap times then go ahead. But I'm out here buying a street car and taking it to the track from time to time. We all aren't in sponsored race teams lol. An the end of the day I drive to enjoy myself and the car. I'll never get that out of an automatic. Believe me I've tried
I literally have always hated the 350 and 370 series and most Nissan cars in general. They are just bad and high maintenance. Can someone explain why I keep watching 370z videos just to internally shit on them 😂 If you like it, good for you. I'm going to stick to more dependable brands and cars
save your time and dont watch this video where you only see a pointless guy slow driving and telling you all the crap you never want to here about someone taking a credit to by a 6 cylinder car.
The mustang cost less because the interior doesn't touch the m2. The mustang just has way to much open plastic. Does it justify the cost? nah but it doesn't hurt lol I personally love mustangs but it takes a lot for me to hate on a car.
Something I have considered for when I get my next car, have a Nimso now. What are your impressions upgrading from the Nismo to the M2 (manual I hope!)? Would love to know what your thoughts are... thanks
I got my 370Z Nismo brand new from my local Nissan dealer on Friday. I'm loving it so far.
Sweet!

My 2015 Red 370z Nismo got hail damaged, while getting repaired I had them add a Seibon CF Hood and black out the top. I think blacking out the roof should be your next mod.
Thank you from one sports car guy to another. Surprised only 2500 miles. I would be freaked out about rock chips on the front. Did you plasticate the front?
great video man.. i respect your craft
Good for you brother, enjoy it...
Thanks for this informative video. My current PCP is up and I have a choice between the new 2018 Nissan Leaf... or this. Well that's made up my mind.
I got mine two weeks ago, looks exactly like yours, fog light is functional in uk! How you finding it? I got a 2017 6 months old, 3k miles $30,000, my mate drove mine he says its quick car handles gd, hes gt a tuned e92 m3
Blade ManX 2017 are going like 37k here In texas where i live and 2016s 30k you got a good deal
how do these Z's compare to the Infinit G37s/Q60s? same engine? Is the Z much quicker, & with better handling? Or are they effectively the same?
I owned a 350Z back in the day (now I own a 2018 Mustang GT after owning a Challenger Shaker) and I loved the car, but that car along with the 370Z needs more factory power. You do not need 600H.P. in it, but if Nissan could put a de-tuned version of GTR motor and at least get it to 450h.p to make it competitive to base Corvette, that would be a good move.
I just found out that 370z nismo comes with shipping spacers on front springs from factory so hopefully you or the previous owner removed them and you might want to do a video about it so other nismo owners can be aware of the spacers
I did look, and they have been removed from my car. It just has a stiff sportscar suspension. I love the way it rides.
B LEE i
Question, is there a huge huge difference in ride 370z vs nismo. How much harsher is nismo vs the 370z, im looking at moving to nismo, but take 3 hr trips is the nismo bucket seat able to handle that. I know you have had both, what about noise levels between both?
Major difference! I wouldnt buy another base Z. I'd only get another Nismo because it drove so much better. And the bucket seats were sooo comfortable! Base Z seats were too short for me and i didn't like them. 2015 Nismo is where its at. And they hold value well
I am still having trouble finding a nice Nismo for sale in the San Antonio/Austin area. Still like the body style of the 370z over the GT-R.
Good video, sweet car, enjoy it 👍🏻
Thanks!
Great vid.I'm in a sport with plans to upgrade to a Nismo. I feel the way you feel about my sport vs other sports cars. But I never drove a GTR. I agree the Z has a supercar feel. Throw in the nismo suspension n u just took it there 100%.
Liked it just for the thumbnail.
The Z34 will def hold its value being the Nismo version
the new upcoming Z35 will be a 3L V6 Twin turbocharged car with 400BHP from the crank. And it will be paired with the Dual Clutch gearbox. So it will lose the charm of a NA full manual car. Also the next gen of car are now pairing with the hybrid dirve system. Weather it will be a good thing or be like the NSX NC1 which is crap is still up in the air. Also used 350Zs are getting cheaper and may replace the 240SX as the cheap drift platform. The other UN-molested RWD sport car which is still NA and has a manual gearbox will still be the BRZ/GT86
All that is rumor and one thing for sure is the Z will have a manual, just like the Porsche Cayman, Mustang GT, Camaro, and the Genesis coupe.
still not 100% sure. we just have to see. look at the NSX and the upcoming Supra. Both no longer have a manual and they give you a 9 speed auto for the NSX and a 6/7 speed DCT since the engine and gearbox is shared with the new BMW Z4
When I can, I will buy the 2016 or 2017 nismo, and keep it forever.
christr11 ehh you say you will keep it forever but most likely you will sell it
The car is hard work.. Heavy old lump that should feel way faster.
@@MagicAyrtonforever I used to rag on the Z cars too. Then I was lucky enough to toss a 2015 nismo around some backroads. And now I own one. These cars feel amazing and the power, while could always use more, feels at place in it's package. Fun on the streets and even more fun at the track.
I love 370Z nismo,too‼︎
Crazy how it's been six months already
Did nissan solve fuel starvation issues on 370z 2015+ model years? Or are they like BMW: by ignoring (catastrophic engine failure with spun crank hub on N55/S55) they do not admit to the flaw and don't have to take responsibility?
Dude, she my dream car.
Do you plan on appearance mods like big wang or lowering springs?
I am interested in buying a manual nismo, my only experience with the manual trans on the Nissan's is a friends G35 coupe. I did not like the late engagement on the clutch. How does the 370 compare? Is the clutch engagement adjustable? Would waiting for the new exedy clutch in the 2018s be worth while?
i think it will be worth waiting
@@biccog8634 thank you ended up getting something else
Wow!!! Look what I have started.. I am sure you guys know everyones situation is different...i have two boys, ages 16 & 9. They both are in private schools, and have been from the day one..I will not tell you what I pay in tuitions. I can go on, and on but I'll stop here..
You say you got bored of the red Z? But then say the Nismo pretty much the same as the standard 2009 with a few upgrades. But then say you love the Nismo. I don't really see the logic. Then you say it's a night and say difference. I'm confused.
Made In Machines lol exactly
No it's not same, that's like saying regular charger and Srt charger is same with "few upgrades " Nismo has suspension upgrades , exhaust, tuned 18hp and better looking exterior and interior and better handling and sound, all from the factory stock.
My mate wants to get the gtr, 17 plate but you should go 2012+ make sure you take out warranty + 3k spare at all times lol, my bro looking to get gtr too
have you heard of Braum racing seats? Thoughts? I wanted to get some seats in leather and they were about $900 for a pair
I've seen a lot of people with them. They seem to like them
Bros FOURR Speed...I'm wanting to get a 370Z, can I take a base model Z and buy NISMO parts for it to make it drive,look & feel like a NISMO 370Z? And if so, where is a good website where I could buy original NISMO parts?
You will end up spending a lot more to make a true Nismo. Plus Nissan welds more of the framing of the Nismo together compared to the normal Z. A 2015+ Nismo is the way to go hands down
Ok..thanks for taking time to reply. Where's a good website to buy some NISMO parts?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That is two times you've mentioned the 2015 and later NISMO's. Well, I'm flying to Florida to buy a black 2014 370Z NISMO because it has super low miles and I really like the whole exterior (with the bigger wing and all). Why do you think the NISMO package on a 2014 is not as good as the 2015? Thanks in advance for a reply.
Beautiful car :-)
I find the 370z going anywhere from 12k to 27k in Portland depending on age.
Needs turbos as the competition has increased
Hopefully the next gen Z will solve that problem.
Raffi Hovnanian considering Infiniti has replaced the g37 with the q60 and it's 400hp 3L turbo and given the z and g have shared engines, I'm betting there's a new z on the way with the 3L turbo
Well, I am not saying it's that bad my friend.
Is upgrading from a 350z to a 370z worth it?
Chad Toy hell yes , a 370z looks better and is more powerful
BS
Chad Toy i dont think so but it's your choise
Chad Toy Yes
na just LS swap the 350z
Sound like R32 or R36 or 2.8 VR6
Yeah those are pretty similar engines in some ways
How much a month for insurance do you pay?
I paid every 6 months, but per month it came around $95. Nothing crazy with a perfect driving record and having the highest deductible.
Bros FOURR Speed how old are you? I’m 21 looking for the same car but I’m wondering how much insurance is going to cost for it
WHAT KIND OF EXHAUST YOU HAVE
aam resonated short tails
can you put halos on it?
Is a style life to change your car every 4 years for many people middle class, and most of the cases are cars under 28k usd, but a 40k car isn't easy to replace it , then keep them for 7 years or more is good. But if you have a bunch of money , change it every 6 months hjajajahajaj
I have a 17 year old Nissan Sentra. No, not everyone middle class trades cars in every four years. That is the broke middle class that does...
Ooooooooor why not just order the pars to swap everything out of a gtr and put them into the 370z?
$ballin hard $$

Every time you trade in you have to pay sales tax. Like $1500 every time. Which is criminal. The Gov should not endlessly be able to collect sales tax on the same car if it is bought and sold multiple times throughout its life.
Good point. But when you trade in a car you actually save money on taxes. I paid $400 worth of taxes trading the red Z for this one. When I bought my Genesis Coupe, I didn't trade anything in, that was $1k worth of taxes on a much cheaper car.
TopLift what the hell are you talking about. You can either pay a portion or all the taxes included with your trade if it's worth enough. Or you can have them roll the taxes into the length of your term, which will make your payments go up. You pay sales tax on everything, if you can't afford it to bad.
Devin Tolliver - its not about affording it. Sometimes adults like to discuss general ideas, make observations. Not just talk about specific examples that only apply to yourself personally . We left Britain because of a tax on tea, and many other things. Now the US gov taxes everything. My point is if a used car is bought and sold 30 times in america the government collects a sales tax 30 times on that used item. If i sold u something like a used golf clubs for example on craigslist you are technically suppose to report it and pay taxes on it
Bros FOURR Speed - ok I didn't know that. I have always sold my cars myself never traded. So I was coming from that perspective. Mostly talking about different people repeatedly paying taxes on the same used item
TopLift 1) buying from a private seller does not require you to report to the IRS. That was a dumb statement.
2)"every time you trade in a car you pay sales tax" you don't pay taxes on the car you TRADE IN. Another dumb comment.
3) People who can afford it don't complain about sales tax. So I would say it has a lot to do with what's affordable.
I’ve scratched my Z rims like a fucker :/ super low can’t see shit next to me
Damn I need a co signer
If you want a gtr, get a vandalised gtr, and fix it. Use iaai, or coparts.
so if you're trully into performance, in 2017, why get a manual trans? Sure, back in the 80s, only a fool opted for an auto over a manual, but the converse is true today (as much as it shocks me to say this). Get the auto and WIN races.
I've never lost on a racetrack to my automatic counterparts. It's the driver and always will be. If you wanna live in magazines and look at 2 second improved lap times then go ahead. But I'm out here buying a street car and taking it to the track from time to time. We all aren't in sponsored race teams lol. An the end of the day I drive to enjoy myself and the car. I'll never get that out of an automatic. Believe me I've tried
I literally have always hated the 350 and 370 series and most Nissan cars in general. They are just bad and high maintenance. Can someone explain why I keep watching 370z videos just to internally shit on them 😂
If you like it, good for you. I'm going to stick to more dependable brands and cars
Your not alone I do the same phaaaa
save your time and dont watch this video where you only see a pointless guy slow driving and telling you all the crap you never want to here about someone taking a credit to by a 6 cylinder car.
wish you would drive at a constant speed instead of going on and off the throttle, how annoying
Heavy,crap visability,Handling ok but not the best,noisy as hell inside.needs turbo. Dash looks pants. BUT HEY OK FOR A POOR MAN'S SPORTS CAR.
You're like 11, can't say anything about the car
Sold my Nismo after 4 months and got myself a BMW M2
Stuart Myhill boring bummers
Z33 DRIVERJG
M2, boring. You idiot.
I vomit a little, you just want that status lol. a 5.0 mustang will destroy that and it cost less lol. P.s I hate mustangs but that's fact sorry
The mustang cost less because the interior doesn't touch the m2. The mustang just has way to much open plastic. Does it justify the cost? nah but it doesn't hurt lol I personally love mustangs but it takes a lot for me to hate on a car.
Something I have considered for when I get my next car, have a Nimso now. What are your impressions upgrading from the Nismo to the M2 (manual I hope!)? Would love to know what your thoughts are... thanks
Lol your financials are crap.
