Wonder how much different will the Nismo Z look, one thing for sure its getting a 18 HP increase!WOOHOO! Thats what I am talking about! Add some power to those handeling mods!

***Mazda please take note of this on the next rotary car, if there is going to be a Mazdaspeed version of the next RX-? , Please bump the HP up along with the handeling and appearance mods! ***

The NISMO sounds good, and looks even better than the stocker. Especially the front.

The convertible definitely looks so much better than the 350z convertible.

I like the 370Z with sport package wheels better. I don't know, the NISMO version looks like it has down syndrome or something. The front end it too long and drawn out.

After test driving the 370 today, i was asking the sales manager about the Nismo 370. He told me the price tag will be 52k! Ridiculous if its true :icon_no2:

omg guys just saw a 370z commercial right now...DUDE mazda needs to step up to the plate NOW...i love my and never will i trade it for a z, but fck it hurts seeing that commercial

It's probably the same one I saw. I have test driven one, and it is unbelievable (and feels better than the 350 in every way, IMO). I'm sure almost everyone on here is hurting and frustrated with Mazda right now. Its killing me having to decide if I should pull the trigger on a 370 or not. If Mazda had the new rotary car out right now I guarantee you Id get it, but Im afraid if I buy a 370 now, new info about the new rotary car will come out right after I buy and then I will have buyers remorse. But I guess if it is at least 3 or 4 more years away, buying a 370 now really doesn't matter much. Its really frustrating not knowing anything.

i know...but no way in hell will i trade my 8, to much love too many memories, ive meet so many cool people with my 8, its not only the car but also the community

Both of them look great, run great, and both are great values. The Nismo doesn't look as bad as I thought it would... I'm actually kind of digging it. And the convertible looks far, far, far better than the 350Z convertible..

I just can't hate on these things. They're very nice cars. I'm impressed with Nissan's ability to listen to their customers and build something right.

I'm sorry, but that front end on the Nismo coupe is just fugly... looks like a silver basking shark.

This car has officially grown on me...especially after seeing the NISMO variant. Definitely better than stock and the NISMO parts car from the TAS.

Even @ the $50k price tag, still cheaper than the Cayman S, and Z4 //M, assuming that's what Nissan is going after.

i agree with yaxman , i dont see how you cant hate on this car...nissan really took the customers opinion into consideration

Looks alright but def not going to be worth the hefty price tag. I'm going to guess that it will be 33k++ I applaud Nissan for actually improving its hp and changing how it looks overall...unlike Mazda *Cough*R3failz*cough*

Wow very impressed, the Nismo version reminds me of the 240Z G -noze. 52k is a bit high for a Z car, Nissan should know better from there past mistakes of the TTZ of the '90's when it got outrageously high to obtain.

The TTZ started out at 35k and by the time it reached its 6th year in production the car was almost 55k new, thats when the consumers said hell no , they weren't going to pay 55k for japanese metal ,when you could have for 5k more a Porsche 911. That high cost of entry is what dealt the death blow to the Z in 1996.

I hope Nissan watches the pricing , or else history will repeat itself. Now if the car was 42k, then the Nismo 370Z is a bargin.

Per Car and Driver, expect the price tag to be around the $40K mark. Still a good bang for buck ratio.

42k BARGAIN!? The 18hp (flywheel) boost is from the exhaust and change to intake. It's heavy too...3300lbs. Slow

Its only 189lbs more than the RX8. and with 112 more hp, I am pretty sure it wont be slow.

I really like this new Z, I may have to trade :( I do love my 8, but I just want more power!!

^^ BLASPHEMY! Jk... ya I'd trade mine too if i had the money.

I'm not sure there is a market for a Nismo at 50k, especially with the 33k 370z sport package pulling a .98 g. You would be buying a car JUST for the track basically. Not worth it for an extra 18 hp and suspension upgrades.

However, the regular 370z is an unbelievable car. Nissan hit a home run.

I would highly doubt that it would cost 50k. Probably more in the range of 38-40k. The old NISMO was about the same price as a fully loaded touring model.

Going through 2x 240's, and a ZX. i got to say the Z holds a part of me. But this Z is amazing out the BOX.

Hopefully they dont kill the car again the way they did last time raising the price to high. Just like Toyota with the Supra, and Mazda with the Rx7.

Bottom of the article...
"The Nismo 370Z will be sold at Nissan dealerships starting in June. Although prices have not yet been announced, we're expecting something in the neighborhood of $37,000."
