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.

Yes, they should have set the Nismo apart more, but they didn't. That was the big fail on the part of Nissan and the reason I didn't get one. I wanted a track oriented Z and the Nismo failed to deliver. So now my car is basically what the Nismo should have been (minus the body kit).
