This is all good stuff...I personally was looking at the NISMO because I really dont want to do a lot of modding. The NISMO to me looks fantastic right out of the factory. And a head turner is what I want!
A lot of your opinions on the SS,BMW,EVO are pretty much the same as what I think. SS has nice engine but its cheapish and common, BMW is luxury but expensive and ugly, EVO is high performance but 4 door lancer underneath it all.
Originally I was weary of having only 2 seats but I really dont need the backseats and the Pros of the Z outway that sacrifice. I've always wanted a Z car since the 300 (had a 89 240sx coupe back in mid 90's so naturally as a teen the 300 was tops!).
Since I've been researching I have really noticed a lot of mustangs camaros and 1-series bmws. Over the past 3 months I've only seen 2 base Z's and notta one NISMO. The likelyhood of seeing a NISMO is very low and thats why I want it, uniqueness.
I really want a true sports car and having a harsh track suspension and all of those aspects don't bother me at all. My prelude now has a super harsh ride with my aftermarket rims/suspension etc so I'm used to it. Because the NISMO is designed for that experience it might not even be as harsh as my aftermarket mods on the lude. To be honest.
Nav and leather etc doesn't matter either because I don't have those things now and would rather have the car focused on performance rather luxury.
I've always wanted a true RWD sports car with unique looks and superior handling. Now that I have the money the NISMO wins hands down in my mind to all comparable in its cost class. Its nice to hear that most owners are happy with their decision. I plan on really taking care of this car and owning for 5+ years so its a big decision for me.
Appreciate the feedback!
