It's still in my mind....to trade in my Performance Manual when the Nismo comes out, and the fact we don't know how long the Nismo Manual will be in production in today's (Nissan's) troubled times. I'm still at 1300 miles, lower miles the better for a trade in I suppose. Then again, pricing of the Manual may be at the mercy of dealers, again!!!

Who's also thinking in the same direction? The last 'analog' Nismo Manual. Hmmm

I’m on the same page as you. I’m hoping to get rid of my performance by the end of this year. Manual Nismo is where it’s at.

Nismo colors are no fun, though

My 24 performance will destroy a Nismo all day. If you want one that bad, it just sounds like you aren't happy with your current Z.

To the guy that money shifted his Z, who taught you to drive?

Actually very satisfied, happy, w my Performance 6MT, it's way better buttoned down now with swaybars and proper sound with aftermarket exhaust. About the only reason I'm considering is the Nismo 6MT might be short-lived so could be in small numbers, rarity is nice. Plus the whole pkg if priced right will be more tuned as a whole. To get the Performance to the level of a Nismo, suspension, brakes, etc. takes a bit of mods.

Ya, I have 3200 miles on my 24 Nismo, and I'm considering losing a lot of loot and getting the manual.

I'm waiting to be able to test drive one to finally make the decision to trade my Nismo for the manual one. But I would have to test drive it.

I'm still undecided on whether or not I'll be moving from my '24 NISMO AT to a '2? NISMO MT. Been a manual guy my entire driving life, so of course originally wanted the NISMO in MT when first purchasing, but the problem is that if the NISMO AT wasn't already so damn fun, compelling, and versatile it would certainly make this decision a helluva lot easier if/when the NISMO MT is introduced. The good news is it appears I'll have plenty of time to still think it over.

I am happy with my sport AT Leg problems for a MT. Wish I had the LSD. That is the only thing. I do not race but look cool knowing I have 400 ponies at my disposal. Have a nice day.

I'm happy with my 24' Performance 6MT and I already spent a lot of money on mods. Love the exterior and interior color combination. Also it will be pay within a year.
