They liked the Z when they got it but it didn't have as much appeal to keep them holding on to it. The Nismo is more than just a aero kit. The point is you won't find ppl who have nismos trading them in after a few months of ownership. Or less likely too than if they had a regular Z. There is a guy here trading in his GTR for a Nismo. Naturally if you have a regular Z for whatever reason it's not the same as the Nismo. You are not going to get the feel for the Nismo in a 5 min test drive. It's an awesome car.....Yes more power would be nice. I know it's 18 more hp but it could have set it apart by having at least 50 more hp, that would have been better.
The 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are basically the same with the 370z and the Mustang. To trade it in for that reason wouldnt make sense to me...
