Rented a Nissan 370Z for my stay in the USA.

What an awesome little car. Very quick for what is is and the handling is very responsive. I thought I wouldn't really care for a car like this...now I want one. Great little track day car.

Here in the US, one can get a base model for ~$30k. All have 332hp with the exception of the NISMO which has 350hp. The upper models have suspension tweaks. I think the bang for the buck is pretty good.

:iagree:


They sound fantastic too. Though most on this board would disagree.

It is a distinct burble from the factory. The aftermarkets...not so much.

They're cool cars for sure! Have fun and enjoy the trip!!

They do require 3-5k worth of aftermarket parts to be track ready, though.

I'm thinking brakes would be a big chunk from that budget. They look smallish to me. They work fine on the street but I think may overheat during track use. Lowering the car would help and depending on the track different spring rates would be needed.

Minus engine mods, not sure what else it would need. The car feels tight and nimble.

I'm liking the stock exhaust. I'm using that rev match feature a lot. Sounds so cool.

I don't know anything about them, but I will say it again, your avatar is a perfect specimen in my mind. :seasix:

Nissan did a real nice job on that car. I'm surprised I don't see more of them on the road.

There's more too. I'd post, but Photobucket isn't playing nice today...

Edit: Here we go, Photobucket finally played ball...

Where are you in the USA?

[ASTROCREEP]

Cold ass Indy. I swear it's reminding me why I moved to a more tropical place.....Even though that place just got snowed on for the first time in 80 years....glad I missed it :dance:
