Default raced something (nismo guys help!!)

Ok, i was sitting at a stoplight behind a car, he was lined up next to a mazda 3? he reved his engine, and the both of them took off....and so did I, the mazda got left hard, but I ended up right up the *** of the other car, I reeled him in fast. I know he wasnt racing me, but im sure he noticed me flying up on him while he was into it hard.

my question is, I dont know what it was. It looked like a 370z, but on the back it said nismo and skyline, duel exhaust, white and had a spoiler.


it looked just like this, but on the left it said nismo, and the right it said skyline. I know it wasnt one of the awd 80k supercars, but Is there another version of it out there?

It was a 370Z. The Nismo package takes it to 350hp.

As far as the other badges, it's not uncommon for ricers to mis-label their cars or add a label that applies overseas but is otherwise meaningless here.

If the car had that same spoiler and everything then it was just an "s-tune" which is basically a looks package you can order for a regular 370z, so it was probably a reg 370z. On the left is supposed to be a "370z" badge. Most people put a fairladyZ to make their car more japanese or whatever. I just removed mine because I wanted a cleaner rear end washing and waxing around frivolous badges gets tiresome.

Guy sounds like a ricer though putting a skyline badge on a Z car

I knew that comment about a NISMO being slower than a regular 370 would spark a fire! I was just waiting for it to happen! Import vs Domestic round number......... I lost count....... Anyway, FIGHT!
