You can buy an LSD and better brakes after market, you know. The wheels and body kit are merely aesthetic mods. And SRM is ok, but not necessary to enjoy the vehicle imo.
Good purchase decision!

I wouldn't care to dive into modding the brakes and such, but that's my preference (not gospel). The sport package brakes are quite good from the factory, even without NISMO pads. Adding an LSD seems like a chore but some folks like that stuff. Back in the day I had a '99 Civic Si supercharged with a ton of mods and I did all the work myself. It was cool and I got that out of my system at the cost of $10k. Now I just buy what will make me happy and enjoy having a warranty too.

To each his own...that's what I love about car forums and sports cars in general. Each of us can do what we want and it's great to see folks modding the 370Z to get more from it. To be upset that someone else likes your car and wants to get one too just doesn't make ANY sense to me. If you want a unique stock 370Z you should go buy ALL of them.
