I WANT POWER SEATS. for example would u pay 60k for a car hat has 220hp ... you want to get the most out of your car right ? if your paying big bucks u want performance to match with it. i got performance and goodies. plus i paid 37k for my car brand new. well worth the price. i got a sports car with all the goodies. I'm a happy camper.
I wouldn't call the speakers in the 370z amazing, even if you shell out extra money for the Bose speakers. Bose doesn't make truly amazing speakers in the first place, but the real problem is the lack of sound insulation on the 370z (or any Nissan vehicle for that matter). The GT-R at least uses Bose's active noise cancelling technology.

Before the Nismo Tech package came along, you could upgrade to a Bose audio package in the Nismo and this was perhaps the worst possible OEM option ever devised; you got a 6 CD changer and a 3 month subscription to Sirius/XM for about $2,000. In the Nismo Tech, that extra money gets you an auto-dimming Homelink mirror (3 garage door / gate openers in 1), backup camera, navigation, DVD player. It's a little easier to justify that purchase - I did

But I genuinely don't see the appeal of power seats at all. They are useful in luxury cars when you have multiple drivers and memory for all of them, but that's not an issue for most Z drivers. You just set it once and forget it, heck I don't even need or care about power mirrors or windows for the same reason.
