Sure people swapped in turbo motors and modified their n/as to be better than 280zx turbos (this was in the late 90s), but a turbo t-top manual transmission seemed better. I finally found one I liked and decided that from now on, there's no point in getting anything else other than exactly what you want in a car. If you feel you like the looks of a nismo, then get the nismo. Most people will never get around to frankenstening nismo parts on their 370z, much less getting a nismo body kit on it. Don't half *** what you want.
Agreed!

I learned the hard way with my last car: 2007 wrx, wanted the Sti. Ended up pouring $13k into the stupid thing with multiple parts, tunes, maint, everything over 6 years. In the end, it never handled like I wanted it to, it just became nervous at the limits, and 3rd gear self destructed.

Take the higher car payment > sinking thousands in cash which could go into retirement/investment/etc...
