And on top of that still be able to clear a parking block with the front end. I refuse to go for aftermarket body kits because they all sit too low on the front making driving in the "real world" a "real pain in the ***".

Just order my red one today, the ride is not as bad as my 1984 Z-51 vette.

Is the Nismo worth it? Definitely! Some may like it some may not. But as far as is it worth yet... Yes. I too have had many cars along the way and its just what you prefer to have. The Nismo is rare and its a great looking car. You definitely have to see one in person, looks even better than in photos. I'm sure everyone has read about the specs and reviews but you just have to go see one in person and drive it. I have had a vette which out of the box is great on performance but doesn't seem to handle like the nismo. Not saying its better or worse just not the same and I like the way the nismo handles. Yes the nismo could use a bit more power, 18 hp more than stock? Not really impressive, it should have at least 50 more hp or an even 400hp out of the box but this car is great, luv it. Traded in a challenger r/t for it. The challenger is a great car lots of pluses w the new crop but it just didn't keep me excited as the nismo does when driving. To each his own but the Nismo is definitely worth it. Oh and ppl who think you over paid for a body kit, like the guy said above its not the same as when it comes from the factory.

Nismo is worth it if you are not planning on buying a lot of aftermarket parts/aero and doing a ton of mods. If you are a modder, I would pass on the Niz. I love the aero package, love the OEM Rays wheels, and the exhaust is great w/ berk hfcs.

Well, today I was headed home and decided I'd take some "SS"s by my house...it had been a light drizzle, traction control was on...dash light was flashing like mad, but never once felt out or control...Yes, it would could have a turbo and more torque, but the balance reminds me of Alfa and it's not all just about power, but balance of the car...it makes you smile...
