The 2015 Nismo radically deviates from the original Nismos. If you look at the iconic sport cars like Porsche, Ferrari & Lamborghini they stay true to their roots in design. The 15 Nismo does not. The front end is very busy, the small fender rolls don't work with the car, the wheels are ugly & the two tone paint job is juvenile. The only plus is the Recaro seats. In my opinion the the 13 Nismo is the last & best of the line to date. Single color paint job, design and function serve a purpose either on the street or track. How many two tone paint jobs or radical changes do you see from the iconic sport car designers?

So, I don't know if the '13+ Sport Package is as stiff as the '15 NISMO or not, but the '15 NISMO is definitely not as stiff as the '14. For me, that works, as do the Recaro seats, navigation, Bose stereo with bluetooth, Homelink, et cetera et cetera that my '14 did not have.

For a race car... I would be putting Konis on anyway and it's not like I couldn't find a set of NISMO linear springs if those were the best thing you can get for the car... Or I'd do coilovers. As far as the aerodynamics, I've heard dumber things being done but I don't really know why Nissan would redesign the body kit for looks and hamper performance. It's not like the old setup was ugly, I would have traded my '14 for a '15 that was the same body kit but with the Recaros, Tech package, etc.

What I'm saying is, I didn't swap to a '15 because of the looks. I did it for the content. It's not that I don't like the looks better, but not THAT much. I think the *automatic* and the upgraded seats and such have brought more "new" people in to look at the NISMO - especially the Automatic. Because a lot of old guys who buy $45K toy cars want automatics... Why, I have no idea.

How does the 15 behave as opposed to the 09-14? Are the suspension changes strictly for comfort or did they keep the performance level? There are only 2 things that interest me about the 15+ over the 09-14..........LED running lights (another attempt to keep idiots from hitting my car) and the seats.

I have to humbly disagree with you, I may be biased... no not really, I have owned white base, silver base, and red, and the red 370z nismo looks good with any trim silver or black. It matches everything nismo has to offer. The new nismo looks F-N awesome in any color IMHO. I have a few disappointments though. The wheels not my taste (those can always be changed), the front bumper seems like overkill --too much going on--I am sure it is functional, and the rear wing doesn't look quite 370Z nismo, ---does not seem aggressive. (maybe I have to see it in person to really judge, videos and pics may not do it justice).

The rear bumper looks killer, and so does the interior! The blacked out headlights I want them!! It is unfortunate that they stopped with the numbering system. Personally speaking it makes the car feel that much more different than your regular Z other than the 40th.

We buy the nismo for the extras, body, suspension, a little more power. I can not say I would upgrade to the 2015 and up, it just doesn't do it for me. I would however like to get a hold of that rear bumper, minus the reflector/fog lamp. Again just my opinion:tiphat:

InEhh, I have driven both and have access to be both as I own a 2010 and my last friend owns a every option checked 2016. My car is definitely stiffer. Imo I think the 2014 and older looks more mature. It don't look like it's yellow "look at me." It looks damn good but I like mine better. The Recaro are really nice if yes driver. I hate sitting in the passenger seat for prolonged periods. It gets uncomfortable fast. Your arms just don't rest in a comfortable position. The front headlights look nice but mine are fine. But then it's blacked out on a black car. I own a metallic silver so the chrome matches well. I think I like the 2016 steering wheel better. The rear square reflector/light is poop ugly. I hate it. As for the spoiler. My giant wing rocks! That flat thing is weak.
