The wow factor isn't worth the trouble

I don't do most of those things with my 370z.

But tbh, it's nothing special, not particularly fast in straight line or race track, especially by today's standard. I still remember it being able to beat a DC5-R around Tsukuba (best motoring video, race was stock to stock), but not by much and it was becasue of the straight line power.
I came from Hong Kong and I've seen these things plenty of times, so the novelty doesn't have any effect on me. These cars don't go for much in Asia, and I am just shocked at how much people pay for these in America.
Just my opinion OP. Not insulting your decision in any way. Enjoy your new journey, whatever you choose.
PS: if I remember correctly...the six speed box can't take as much power as the previous gen 5 speed. Car has VLSD. Not sure if this generation sr20det is better suited for big power or not.

The novelty is one of the things that interest me. That and the fact it's rare to see on the show scene here.
I have read about the 6speed being a weak link, some owners replace it with the previous generation 5 speed.
The "premium" price is the major sticking point for me. Thanks for your informative post
