For $50-55k, I can buy a used Corvette Z06 which will smoke them all!

I have found a 2017 Nismo with 5k miles on it for $31k. Besides the body features, what are the biggest differences between a Nismo and a Sport package? My 2010 Z had the Fast Intentions exhaust, Stillen CAI, and a tune. Would I need those items on a Nismo or do they come standard? Also, the stereo system in my Z was AWFUL...is the Nismo system far superior? What other items are superior? The same dealer has a 2018 Sport Package with 7k miles for $24k.
I'm glad you're ok. I'll also echo the suggestion of going to get checked out just to be sure.

That said, I keep seeing this about the same or less power, but it's not entirely the case. The new Supras likely put more torque to the wheels than the Z even makes. They make 95 more at the crank. And the Supra weighs the same, probably less than the Nismo by a 100-150lbs.
