tacked on body kit looks like crap. rims are light, but a bit too open for me.

looks kinda ugly but not as ugly as the last Nismo Z.

Better performance figures as well.

i wouldn't mind having one.. front looks better than the stock with 'teeth' imo.. i'm sure that rear spoiler is functional.

I think the car looks great. I am amazed that Nissan pulled 350 hp out of a V6. Stuff like this makes me wonder why the American car companies need V8's to still make equal or less power. I remember when the V8 in a corvette was barely putting down 350hp

your GS is set up nicely but I am pretty sure that the Z will dust your heavy and aging GS. Its probably putting more power to the wheels unless you are running some crazy set up. If that was the case then you would be pushing a turbo.

I still can't stomach the new Z. I have seen a few of them around and just don't like the proportions- it looks like a shoe. Furthermore, the headlights and tailights look pretty tacky IMO, and the front bumper on this NISMO version looks like a catfish, no matter how functional it is.

Id rather mod a regular one, and end up with a better car for probably less money overall. You gotta hand it out to nissan they have been satisfying needs for all types of cunsumers

^^^ If the Nismo 370Z version is anything like the previous Nismo 350Z then you would be very hard pressed to match it's handling with a modded "regular" 370Z. The chassis stiffening and reinforcement went beyond what you could get with aftermarket parts.
