Any Sport Package Owners Wish They Bought the Nismo Instead?

jcosta79 · 09-29-2012, 07:56 PM

If you own a base model with the sport package, would you rather have a Nismo instead?

*This thread is to prove a point*

Out of those choices - Nismo, but I'd prefer Touring with Sport package over the two choices.
If Nismo had all the toys of the Touring - Nismo hands down.

I voted no ...

If I had wanted a Nismo I would have got'N one ... I like to do my own moddin' rather then have it done for me

I think the Nismo is ugly as hell, just my opinion.

I like my own:
1 better
2 cheaper
3 custom
... Mods

But the nismo is cool too I just like doing my own thing.

Putting down 360 hp with sport plus $3000 In bolt on mods.

$1000 more in suspension and ill have her. EXACTLY where I want her for my DD.

I'm not digging the nismo bodykit.

With the price difference vs a Nismo I used it to mod my sport package...plus with change....now my Z is a lot better than the Nismo.

Nope...the nismo is way 2 boy racer lookin 4 me. I cant deal wit that whale wing. Jus not for me....but 2 each his own. Maybe some like the exclusivity of havin a numbered/limited edition i guess. But i prefer 2 mod my own car...price difference wasnt an issue either. But im sure a nismos resale value is awesome though!

I would've done the Nismo instead if it came with nav. Just couldn't get over a huge pocket in the middle of the dash.

Meanwhile, in absolute non-sport package base-land...

If the NISMO was actually track day ready, like having an oil cooler, brake ducts, non-viscous LSD, etc. then yes. As it is, there's not enough to justify it for me.

Had the nismo been made available with Nav (like they do in Canada) and leather seats, I'd be driving one right now. Their loss not mine.
