Top shelf - should reflect a minimum of 400 HP, that not being the case, then consider it all as just window dressing.
I'll do my own...

I wish they saved the money on the body kit and put it towards more hp. Nismo Z should have had DI and about "370"hp and reclining lighter racing seats as it is a streetcar too imho. 40hp more to celebrate the 40th anniversary. Price to performance ratio is what is sinking it as was already mentioned.
That being said it looks best in black and red but Id rather a base with sport package for the nifty synchro rev.

Actually, that might end up being the ratio of NISMO's to standard 370Z's so Nissan might have nailed it perfectly.

Regardless of if you think the NISMO is enough performance upgrade it IS a performance upgrade - the body package is functional - there is a boost in performance, the handling is improved, etc. Value for money - not really but you're paying for the name plain and simple... no different than TDR, AMG, etc... manufactures performance parts are almost always more than aftermarket....

I dont think you understood what Im saying at all. Im saying that a base with the performance package is what Id take over the Nismo so I can get the synchro. In other words the base model with synchro rev package is a better value to me. Sorry for the confusion.
Im fully aware the Nismo comes with synchro. I dont personally think the performance per dollar is high for the Nismo. I hope future tests prove better results for the 370 Nismo vs the reg 370. So far it amounts to an all show package according the 2 tests so far. Ill gladly change my tune if and when a Nismo Z beats the regular model in a head to head test.
