Aero kit, wider lighter rims front and back, nismo breaks, better suspension, chassis, interior embroidery, different tires "same as sport" different exhaust, engine tune, and above all exclusivity of owning a much more limited production car. If u don't see all that being worth a few thousand more then I'm sorry you bought a base and missed out, and in some cases the damn touring/sport can cost just as much if not more! And guess what? I have a gps in the nismo..... So tell me why?
And now I sit back and let the justification wars begin. I say, be happy with what ya got, to each his own bro.

I'm not a z owner yet, but I'm not buying a nismo. Why? Because in no objective test has it put down any better numbers in any performance category that are statistically significant. Sure, it may pull .01g more in one skidpad test, but it doesn't in all of them, etc.
Exclusivity and looks are all I will give you.
Further...brakes? I thought they were identical to sport brakes except for paint. Wrong?
I have no agenda to justify my purchase of a non nismo, BTW. I currently drive what's in my Sig, and am trading it in on a z, so its not someone with a. Base care making argument based on emotion.
