I agree, if you have not driven it, DON’T flame it.

What an ignorant article. The author hasn’t even driven the car, nor mentions the plethora of chassis upgrades such as additional body welds and Yamaha chassis dampers F&R. Nor does he mention the NISMO 350Z was tuned and assembled in-house by AUTECH Japan.

Anthony, I agree that it may seem to be a rip off but I was pricing out two Zs today during some downtime at work, and was surprised to see the result:

1) NISMO packaged 350Z - $39,340 including the D & H of $660

2) Grand Touring packaged 350Z - $39,820 including the D & H of $660

That is assuming you want your 350Z to have the BREMBO braking system. This is the result of Navigation and side airbags being required if you want to be able row your own gears which to me is ridiculous but I digress.

So besides the tacky body kit, the NISMO appears to be a better buy(considering the stiffer body, and upgraded shocks/springs) if you have the innate ability in being able to read road signs and maps and bypass the artificial need for a navigation system

Amusing write up on the car, gave me a few laughs.

…”each NISMO 350Z will include a serialized aluminum plaque on the center console, just to make owners feel even more special and less ripped off.”

LOL!

Mike, no I have not yet driven the Nismo 350Z but have driven the 350Z a number of times, very fun car. Do you have a Nismo 350z or have you driven one?
