Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
The new Z is a track beast, but with the mighty GT-R in the same stable, it pretty much has to be one. But it has a character of its own, so don't consider it as a slower but less expensive alternative to Nissan's mythic flagship road rocket. Full story...

Review: 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z
2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z - Nissan Nismo Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
If you commanded the Nissan genie to pimp your Z-car, the result would be the second-generation NISMO model now available at dealerships.

If you commanded the Nissan genie to pimp your Z-car, the result would be the second-generation NISMO model now available at dealerships. (The NISMO name stands for Nissan Motorsports International, the prime source of extreme performance parts and special-edition models created by Nissan factory experts for hard core street and track use.) Updates beyond the standard 370Z are 18 extra horsepower, 6 lb-ft more torque, various interior and exterior design touches, a retuned suspension, wider 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels, and Yokohama instead of Bridgestone tires. Even after you add a $780 dealer-installed engine oil cooler, the NISMO package runs only $6980 more than the regular 350Z equipped with a Sport Package.
