Let's be honest, the Nismo, just like the M3, SRT8, ISF or AMG's are the exclusive cars of the brand and all out just look better and have a few better options, but at the least, when it's all said and done you'll have the top model of that specific car brand and thats worth a lot to me cause one of my last cars was a M3 and my two current cars are a Nismo and SRT8 and as bad as I wanted a Porsche, I can honestly say that I couldn't afford the 991 Turbo and wouldn't feel right driving anything less than a Turbo model and even the 997 was a bit much for me to spend on a used Porsche. No disrespect, just my opinion.

/\ I kinda have the same mentality. I'd rather have a top of the line whatever than entry or mid level of the next higher up car. Ie. If I were to get vette, it'd be a z06. A Porsche, it'd be a cayman r or gts bc a 911 gt3 or turbo is way outta my range etc.

1. fully loaded version

3. knowing i have the power behind a car
4. the body style is sooo sexy and makes it a unique car on the road
5. we all know this one, any 370z breaks necks  |
1. Makes sense
2. It's not very track ready but just like any other z car it doesn't take much to get it there if you are just starting out and as you get more experienced, you'll mod the car as needed based on the shortcomings you have on track. One note about the aero, at least as far as the 09-14 nismos are concerned the aero is functional, don't know about the new 15 nismos yet.
3. Um ok
4. Personal preference but I agree
5. See #3

Doesn't that mean more power= faster  |
The stiffer suspension means it doesn't hook up as well for straight line performance like 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Also, 18 more hp at 350 hp total is nelgible.
