unfortunately that isn't a huge increase, which doesn't lead to the nismo being that much quicker.

The people who bought the nismo (me included) bought it knowing full well that an 18hp increase isn't huge, and i hope most people realize there weren't going to be HUGE differences in performance. I bought it more for the body kit (which i know is subjective) and what I was led to believe was noticeable better handleing...my own fault for listening to a salesman.

Do i regret the nismo? No, I would definitely do it again if given the choice (i also bought it for 37k before tax, instead of the 39ish MSRP). The biggest factors for me were the fact that it already has a (slightly) up graded suspension without voiding my warranty.

That also doesn't mean I'm a "****" to a sport+ or any other z owner. That is a pretty broad generalization to make. Not to mention, all Ford, chevy, etc owners probably think all Z owners are dicks too. It all depends where you viewpoint is.
