Is the NISMO worth it?

Former 135i owner...love the Nismo...will even be better once I cut that huge tank of silencer they call an exhaust off this weekend. EVO MR, is sick, especially for the bang, but I just don't like the styling. If the NISMO only had a turbo or v8 for some torque, it could become the car....

yea Cell...luxury isn't as important to me than performance...I wouldn't have picked the Prelude in 01' if thats what I was looking for because the prelude has a 90's Honda interior, i picked it cuz that was the best sporty car in my price range at that point and I always liked the look (after suspension drop, Rims etc. I live in Philly so we get snow but I can't even drive my prelude in snow with my aftermarket rims n tires..its like a big wheel spinnin on the pavement..only works with my stocks and even then it ain't that great...I have a SUV for snow. And yes this will be a DD for me and I really have no problem with that..I work 3 miles from home so thats not an issue. And yes F1, I really like the EVO for its AWD and turbo but I'm not a huge fan of the design and it being a sedan, particularly the new EVO X design..its perfect for NorthEast weather but the roads clear up here quick because we are used to it and its not quite Boston so if I can't go out for the 4 hours it snows I'm ok with that and I have a truck. My other car is a 99 Mustang GT (yellow annv.) so if I need a V8 fix I can take that down the line. Really the NISMO stands out because I just love the Japanese sports cars and the looks of the NISMO def stands out. So from what i get from you guys is that really the "big" diff between the NISMO and standard is the appearence..IMO the NISMO looks way better then the standard and the standard looks awesome too...and I like to have cars that are diff from the run of the mill..like now my prelude is rare and catches peoples attention because you never see them and I made it look aggresive for a lude. So the NISMO is one of those attention grabbers. I really just want a car that you can buy and not touch and it looks nasty. I'm hearing that the exhaust might need to be upgraded? A BMW, EVO or SS could be mistaken for a run of the mill daily driver and that turns me off...no mistake with the NISMO. Its good to hear you guys say it worth it.
