actually depending on who did the testing the nismo either handles marginaly better, the same, or marginally worse than a sport package. when it comes to suspension you scarifice ride quality with the nismo being stiffer yet track testing has shown there is almost no gain at all in actual performance. The car has a hair more power than a sport and yet it still runs nearly identical times on the track. The only place a nismo really beats a sport is in a straight line in which case u should have bought a camaro or a base+sport+HFC's and exhaust. You do not have a hardcore race tuned machine, you have a riced up sports package with a shatty stereo. Look at the difference between a regular 350z and a nismo 350z it makes the nismo 370 look like a fricken rip off for 39k plus change you should be significantly faster than my 8,000 dollar less car, I spent 4,000 so far in the aftermarket and i have a better stereo, more power, and a faster handling car than someone who paid double what i did for those same upgrades but worse.
Edit: and I am NOT jealous of a nismo because i almost bought one until i realized it really is just a bunch of flash with no real substance for an extra 30% of the price of the car.
