BOLD: Not true

It has a "different" exhaust. I wouldn't even necessarily call it "better." It does sound better, but every single aftermarket exhaust trumps the Nismo exhaust.

The seats are just the regular cloth seats with custom stitching. Hell, the 40th has the same accent stitching on leather.

The suspension upgrades are minimal.. struts and springs. It's noticeable for sure, but there are better products all over the place. While the dampers probably help with some chassis rigidity, they are not touted as such. Supposedly they're more for vibration than anything.

The only "upgrades" that cannot be contested are the body kit, wheels, and the exclusivity of the car (numbered).
