Aside from the body package and seat stitching, you're not getting much. The Nismo CBE doesn't give as much HP gain as the Stillen...I'd pass on this. Not to mention that rear wing makes it a rice cooker IMHO. THe finesse and sleak appeal of the sport model is gone in the Nismo for me.

As Joe Rogan from UFC often says: I concur

I think car & driver or one of those mainstream mag's said that the Nismo 370 is "import tuner" looking, euphemistic for riced-out.

The nose is too long, the side skirts look like running boards for a conversion van, the wing sits too high and rear bumper has those 80's body kit slits. I don't care that it has function to them, it's too gaudy looking.

They should've added a turbo or supercharged the damn thing, or maybe an Infiniti 4.5 v-8!...oh yeah, with the upgraded oil cooler

No thanks. I'd rather put a couple bolt ons on the Z and keep my NAV and the fangs that I have grown to LOVE!

Seeing that the 332 hp is quicker than nismos 350 hp, and I get more options with touring sport... I think touring sport is best

I agree too.

I wanted my 370z more hardcore than the Nismo. I cant imaging paying the premium on a Nismo, then go put intakes, exhaust, coilovers, etc on it, then look back and say, "wow, it would be nice to have leather interior, power seats and a nav system. "

I love the styling of the 370z. It's sexy and classy. The Nismo? Not so much. As others have said, the nose is too long and the wing is too big. I even like the sport model Rays wheels better than the Nismo ones.

I'm very fond of the exterior and think the Nismo is a great package from the factory. I'd love to drive one.
