One costs more than the other, that's the way I look at it, not much difference.

If you're going to mod, then don't get a NISMO (I wouldn't)

There's about 20 more HP. Several suspension mods are different but nothing that makes it great IMO. Go to nissanusa.com and compare all the details.

Different bumpers, wing, wheels, different struts/springs, some additional dampeners, more free flowing exhaust and a better tune.

As the other member said, if you are going to mod it, don't get the Nismo or you will be paying 4k just for a body kit... everything except the bodykit and wheels have a low resale value so it would be hard to make the 4k back later on.

Most people want a lower drop and better exhaust than the Nismo offers so right off the bat you are removing about half of what it comes with.

Not if you're a clean person. And I'm allergic to paying $5k for mostly manmade materials, a shytty stereo upgrade and unnecessary power seats in a sports car. Lol

There's about 20 more HP. which you can add aftermarket.

Several suspension mods which does not add to slalom time. You can do a better job aftermarket.

The Nismo has a 34 row oil cooler. - Which you also can add.

Recommendation - Base sport package (Nismo has) and if you wish add touring which the Nismo does not have. Touring adds 50 odd pounds. If the body kit is what you are after then get the Nismo.

Good luck.

The Nismo rides like a race car. Strangely the gearing seems shorter gets more attention and has a cool body kit. The sport is Softer ride, but still performance oriented.

I notice that the gs are on a higher level in the Nismo. Things seem to fly around in the car as I take turns more than they did in the sport.

Personally I like the back beating ride of the Nismo, and it's no smooth quiet Lexus like car. It loud has rattles and shakes and lots of engine noise. Does not sound as rough when accelerating as the sport. There is a nice exhaust note!
