Focus on comparing the cars stock, which in that case all the evidence presented supports the argument that a Base/Sport Z out-performs the NISMO as they are. Not taking into consideration price, I think many people would have still chosen a Base/Sport over the NISMO.
I agree completely.

I was thinking more along the lines of I'm gonna mod anyway so why should I pay more money for things I'm gonna replace. In that case even going base + sport is a bit of a waste instead of just base only.

But I don't know if OP is gonna want to mod.
