The only advantage the Nismo really has is the slightly wider wheels which personally I don't think that tiny bit will make that much of a difference.

The Nismo also has different springs which are shorter and firmer than the regular 370's, and wider wheels. These two factors, like the Z0K and MSR miata, are what bumps it up a class.
