Its funny how people say "oh huge step down in performance" I guess they didn't get the memo the Nismo is faster than most all factory evo's. I have seen more than a couple quiet fast. Theres a black one locally that destroys everbody...that includeds trailered in Z06's and BSP evo's on Ohlins and spec Miata's. They can be fast for relatively cheap...maybe not 11's 1/4 cars like everybody seems to worry about.
Nice ride...I have thought about one for awhile now. Just don't like the seats much.

Looks very nice indeed. A neighboor a couple of streets from where I live has one (same color) and I can't help staring at it everytime.
Nissan did a great job on the face lift and power increase, that is a low 13 sec car out of the box. Congrats!!

As with any first year car their will be problems with it, look at the issues that were found with the 03-05 z's.
This past weekend had another auto-x with Metro NY PCA. The car has inherent understeer and will not trail brake. I'll be getting it aligned this weekend and putting camber bolts up front to hopefully get about 1.5degrees of negative camber. Add some front toe out....this should all help turn in and maybe allow trail braking.
As far as stock for stock goes, this car beats the Evo VIII, I can't speak for the IX or X. It won't have the AWD launch, but it pulls harder top end and handles just as good if not better. Get the two on an open track and this car will handle the Evo no problem

Really i have never felt that pictures or seeing the car sitting does it justice. It really looks like a whole new car when it is sliding around a corner!
