Kev Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Now on the verge of cancelling my order, I am speaking to the dealer tonight and if they haven't sorted it then I am going elsewhere. Have you not enquired elsewhere yet? Or do you mean a different car altogether? Nope I hadn't looked anywhere else was just waiting for them to sort it out. Looked at my finances and managed to convince the wife to let me have a BMW M4 even though it was a little out of my original budget but as I was building it online I got a call from the Nissan dealer telling me that everything is sorted and should be able to collect my new 2015 370Z in around two weeks . I even told them I was on the BMW website shopping for an alternative and they asked me not to do that . As much as I like the nismo, it isn't anywhere near a M4. Not even close. 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and the full extended leather looks and feels amazing. God I wish I could afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) 0-60 isn't everything. The M4 is an ugly lump. There are certainly cars I would swap my a Nismo for (Evora S Sports Racer, Cayman GTS...) but not one of those.

Turboextreme Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I didn't really want an M4 to be honest I wanted the 370, the BMW was massively over my budget which I could stretch to but it meant making sacrifices. An M235i I could get for 2k less than the Nismo and is a highly rated car but it looks like any other BMW apart from the twin single exit exhausts. I am now really really chuffed that everything is sorted and I will be getting the Nismo soon, hopefully when I speak to the dealer today should have confirmation of a date I can collect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 M2 is coming soon. Now that is going to knock spots off everything at this price point. I still reckon they forgot to order yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 While discovering that the M2 will also be an ugly lump and apparently cost £45k I happened across this review of the new Nismo http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/nissan/370z/first-drives/2014-nissan-370z-nismo-first-drive-review Bit odd in that it gets four stars but not very positive comments....

WINKJ Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 One of my close friends got one of the first M4s in the UK when it was deliverevd.... It is fast, but it's a big old barge and doesn't look even slightly interesting. The sound is nice though!! More of an old mans car but not for me. I am still confused about everyone making the 0-60 comparison. None of us bought our Zs, 350/370/370N for 0-60 speed so it's absolutely rediculous to keep using that as a comparison factor against other cars. If I wanted a straight line speed car, I would get a corsa VXR and spend 20K on it... I am sure then it would be quicker than many super cars 0-60..... Please people get some brains and stop pulling out the 0-60 times so often. It's IRRELEVANT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 30-100 is far more important real-world, but it's a stat that's very hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 30-100 is far more important real-world, but it's a stat that's very hard to come by. even so, any stat like 0-60, 30-100 is based on the assumption we are all chasing straight line speed. which if we were, none of us would be on this forum as we wouldn't own a Z... so using it as a comparison between Z and other cars is stupidity! rant over!

Ekona Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not really: It's also a guide as to flexibility of the engine, gear ratios etc. For example, I might not necessarily need a car that does 0-60 in 5secs, but one that lets me overtake with ease is very important. A diesel would have a crap 0-60, but it would have bags of torque in that range so the 30-100 could be very impressive. I get where you're going though, straight line speed is pretty irrelevant these days when everything vaguely interesting is plenty quick enough.

ZMANALEX Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Any Nismo ordered today will be delivered within 4 - 10 weeks depending on colour. I have a 48 hour demo arranged for next week courtesy of Nobles, Edinburgh. Nissan would not give them a showroom car, only a demo which has already been registered by Nobles. This Nismo 370 in silver is available to buy now at £37500.00. Perhaps the guys that have already got there cars have purchased demo/pre-registered cars.
