No offence to any nismo owners btw, at the end of the day you choose what to do with your money but if we are truly talking about a squeezing the most performance out of your car then the nismo isnt even in the game. There are much better and cheaper alternatives for aftermarket parts out there then what the nismo gives you
Then you got people saying the whole nismo status and such like oh "rarity", "not many out there", "you'll stand out" etc... that makes no sense to me when theres something like the 40th Anniversary around which has more bragging rights as a limited and rare car over a nismo, hell even based on numbers of cars produced alone by a HUGEE margin.
The nismo idea in itself is a good idea, just horribly executed by nissan. In reality, no matter how you crunch numbers or try to justify it... The bodykit on the new nismos is great tho i'll give it that but its all its got going for it imo.

They probably did about as much as they can performance wise while still adhering to emissions regulations.
The big draw for me for the nismo was not based on the performance side, but on everything else. I bought a nismo 17 used with 7k miles on it for less than a new 17 sport. The body kit, different running lights, seats, steering wheel, wheels, dash, etc is what makes the car for me. trying to do it all aftermarket would probably cost as much as the sticker difference between a sport and a nismo, and be a hell of a lot of work.
