IMO the nismo does look better, but not MUCH in a way you put it... The rear end, to me too, is its only negative... But i love the look of the two models. IMO the Nismo wheels are sick, everyone loves the sport wheels its seems like, but to me the stock nismo wheels are just awesome.
I am not really sure if the nismo warrants the price tag it comes with but if you can afford it and dig the look there is no reason to not go with it. The guy nailed all the differences a few posts earlier....
The nismo exhaust is a bit of a let down imo and it would be nice if it came with adjustable coilovers because imo it doesnt sit low enough. And also no leather and the base stereo comes into play with some people who like creature comforts.. Id love to see a nismo touring model with the bose/nav.
I settled for the base 370z because I got an insanely good deal and its what I could afford and I am extremely pleased with the car. There's a few things I would like to upgrade like the radio and the brakes when they need replacing (with the akabono kits i found 800 for front 700 for rears), but the package you get with the base model is a steal and even more so with the base/sport (which was not avail for the deal i got at my dealership otherwise I would of went that route)... the nismo is $9,000 more than the car I got, that is a lot..
If i could put 9,000 into my base model right now I am pretty sure the finished product would come out being more satisfying to me than the nismo stock would be, but thats just me... Its all personal preference.. i love the front end/side profile/wheels of the nismo but the rear end to be is just EHH at best in my eyes ... Dont get me wrong the car is sick and im a fan but the price tag seems a bit high for me atleast... If i was sitting on a huge bank account and money didnt matter I would certainly go for the nismo and learn to like the rear end but out of value i think the base or base sport is the best option.
