Dunno about the 370z NISMO but the 350Z NISMO was a remarkable improvement especially on the track.

Remember the car is not designed for 1/4 it is designed for Road Courses and that is where the NISMO shines.

Of course from the last two years with the NISMO 350Z, people who don't own and talk like this are just jealous and don't know anything about it because they have never driven or been in one to actually see how good they handle.

But then again mine has seam welds and the 370z didn't get those. When I drove the 370z NISMO I felt it to be softer than mine and felt like it wouldn't handle as good. So is it worth it on the 370z, probably not, but it was on the 350z.

the suspension is done up a lot better

the car is worth getting for probably: showing off, fact that it is a nismo, and for an enthusiast
but not worth if you want a car to mod since you can just mod the non-nismos

the only thing you get out of the car is that it is the nismo trim

its like buying a touring instead of base, just for the features (thats how i'd put it)
but instead of "intelligent" features you get "physical features" with a tad of better handling

the performance part wont make much of a difference since it is heavier


-back to your question: is it worth it?
i would say it is worth as much as its worth buying a 370 that's base or touring or with sport for their prices. it's just a different trim like the roadster.
so i'm not saying yes or no, it is what it is, buy it if you like pass if not.

i like the stock body look so i will be buying a non-nismo myself

hope this helps
