Picked up this '07 Nismo yesterday after Nismosis finally got the best of me.
It has 45k miles and was a dealer certified pre-owned car so it has 7r/100k mile warranty.
It was a one owner car and that dude was not kind to the cargo area of the interior. Several of the plastic parts inside are scratched so I'll be replacing them along the way.
Picked it up out of town so drove some city roads and a lot of highway, about 150 miles. It rides a lot like the two Cayman's I've driven, pretty stiff but not harsh. Corners real flat as you'd expect and road noise is quite a lot. It doesn't feel brutally fast with only 306hp and 3300lbs. but it's enough to get you in trouble.
Clutching and shifting the six-speed box feels nice, nice tight shift gates. It sounds great and you can hear some good exhaust feedback at low speeds, too bad it gets all but drowned out at speed.
I like the Nismo front and rear a lot as the regular 350z is looking a bit aged to my eyes. I think the longer. lower nose reduces the industrial feel of the 350Z design substantially.
That's all I have for now after only having it for a day so far....except I'll say the ingress and egress of the car is a bitch. The thickness of the door and where it's hinged at the leading edge in relation to the foot box is the culprit. Plus I'm an old phart.
PS. Eggnogg isn't around anymore...so I didn't bother with the obligatory note.
