Test drove the ‘27 Performance MT today.

[Osage]

Absolutely blissful experience. It had 100 miles on it. Just delivered off the truck. Shrink wrap still all over it. Could barely see out the side windows. Wanted to see if I loved it and could base a Nismo order off of that. Bottom line: amazing car. Even without being able to put it in Sport Mode (some kind of early mileage restriction), it was a blast to drive. The steering feel and shifter engagement are exceptional. Tons of fun.

I test drove a Performance and took home a Nismo. That was early 2025. I sold it, and now there's a 2027 Nismo Manual in the garage.

Any difference between the 25 Performance steering response and the 27?

 

[Osage]

I can’t speak to the earlier models. I got on this train after you trailblazers paved the way. You ran, so I can walk.

@Osage, make sure to share photos when it ends up in your garage.

Awesome. Looks like a few joy rides - should be ~6 miles off the truck..

I like the way you roll Howdog!

I actually did the opposite, I test drove a NISMO and moved on a Performance Manual. There will soon be a 27 NISMO M/T in the garage.

Test-drove a Nismo but bought a Performance instead. Okay. Cool. But how is there going to be a 27 Nismo in the garage? Mods? Dumb that down for me.

I've now upgraded. The other stuff was in 2025 too.

Oh, I gotchu. Right on! Don't pay over MSRP and no ++!

All--can confirm that I am officially the first owner of a 2027 Z Nismo with MT in the State of Texas.

Unfortunately, I have a project going on at my side yard so no access to garage for a week, so the dealer is keeping her stored for me. Went with the black paint. The metallic flaking looks so good in the sunlight. Hard to believe that this color is the no cost option!
