Kirk, you just influenced a decision I was about to make. You make a lot of sense, and there's a lot of wisdom in what you said.
I've been in the same position many times. You're absolutely right - I've never sat in a car I've bought, and wished I had bought a lesser version. But, a number of times I've had the opposite reaction, and wished I'd sprung for the higher end version.
This is purely a 'toy' second car decision for me. It's a 'want' car, not a 'need' transportation car (like I suspect the 370Z is for most owners). At 60, and after having owned 104 cars in my life (yes, I know, it's a disease, and I'm not right in the head, I'm a deeply disturbed man), this may well be one of the last (if not the last?) 'toy' car I buy (though I hope not!).
A dealer offered me a great deal on a Sport, which I was going to take. You've inspired me to go for what I really 'want', which is a Nismo.
Thank you!
