However, out and out handling WAS improved, so I remain cautiously optimistic for the Nismo 370Z.

S.
I never drove the Nismo, so I could be absolutely wrong, but I heard the handling difference was so minuscule that unless you were a pro driver, you couldn't tell the difference. Is that accurate?
Anyway, I agree that the Nismo should have an obvious difference between the two models. The next Camaro for example, has a v8 that produces 400hp, as well as the "big boy" 422hp engine. That's something I would be willing to pay an extra couple thousand for, not some body panels and shocks.
