wow this thread just exploded. i really didn't mean to stir anything up i swear!
so mainly i was trying to see what information i could get from here. i was planning on getting a nismo mainly for it being just a higher end model (as i plan on modifying it anyways). i love the styling and all of the other tidbits but i couldn't seem to justify the nearly $10k increase for items that don't really make the Z any more track ready.
anyways, today while at the dealership i was made an offer on a 2009 Touring + Sport that i couldn't refuse. i was quoted $30k for a new 2009 touring and i might just take them up, unless a nismo comes along for the same price
