whats yourpurpose for the isf? i ask this b/c if you want a sporty car then you are just wasting your $ getting the nm isf...there is NOTHING sporty about 20" rims and the added weight of subs and amps. just go with the isf if ur interested in the car. but if your purpose is to flash then yeah the 20" rims are a little blingier and with the amp everyone at ht eretirement homes your drive by in forida will hear what your listening to and that may score points with grandma if your trying to pick her up

i wouldn't even pay 65k for an is-f. hell i probably wouldn't even spend 60k on it. i'd much rather spend $70k on a the new nissan gt-r instead

It's only worth that much as a collector car. If it isn't being added to your collection, then NO WAY.

If you 'don't know', then that means you don't need, or want the car. Pass on it.

Good luck getting the GTR for 70k Dealers are going to jack up the price of that bad boy.

No doubt....and creature comforts are nonexistent. However, if you want a badass track car, it would be hard to beat.

Autoblog had an article about GTR's going anywhere between 90-130k around the country. If you can get one for 70k, don't hesitate for a second...


but yea I would only get the NM if you are a collector, or a girl concerned with a designer car :P

for 69k you could legitimately get a new m3....hopefully...

Excuse my ignorance but isnt the NM ISF just a regular ISF fully loaded with special paint?

Nothing special about Obsidian Black paint..., but I think its the only color it comes in...

Acutally, there will only be 50 made and they will all come like this one..

Even the MSRP sticker will be the same...
(unless you add an extra Port Installed Option)

Don't you get a Skip Barber course included in that 69K? So it works out to another 7.5k. If I had the money to waste I'd purchase it just for the wheels and the course. Of course I didn't have the money to waste!
