and the list goes on. IMO it boils down to this, if you have the money and it's no issue you'll never even look at the base model. Let's be honest, the Nismo, just like the M3, SRT8, ISF or AMG's are the exclusive cars of the brand and all out just look better and have a few better options, but at the least, when it's all said and done you'll have the top model of that specific car brand and thats worth a lot to me cause one of my last cars was a M3 and my two current cars are a Nismo and SRT8 and as bad as I wanted a Porsche, I can honestly say that I couldn't afford the 991 Turbo and wouldn't feel right driving anything less than a Turbo model and even the 997 was a bit much for me to spend on a used Porsche. No disrespect, just my opinion.

i personally just don't see the $10,000 price increase for a nismo. while the other cars you listed above there is a noticeable difference in looks and performance.

You could buy a Nismo and strip it of everything on it that says Nismo and make all your money back. I think the Nismo is fine for the price. In the end you're paying for that badge number. Something that says their is only X amount like yours. I find the Nismo to be absolutely stunning pre 2015.

i could find out how many models(yr, color, etc.) were made like mine and badge it myself and have the only base sport pckg with a badge. so can it be priced at 50k?

i do understand what you're saying, but from my opinion i just don't see the 10k price difference. if the engine was different then i'd be able to see it, but as it sits now i don't. again, that's just my opinion.

Sadly the badge number seems to have been discontinued with NISMO starting with 2015. Confirmed the Z and GT-R no longer do it. Haven't heard about the Juke yet...

Yeah, that's why I said pre 2015. Between the ugly rims and the debadging I wouldn't buy the new Nismo but the 2014 Nismo in PW or Red make me jizz. The 2013 black Nismo does the same.

Exactly, you are getting something for the extra money! Good gains/better performance in all performance parameters, not minimal or if any at all as in the case of the Nismo vs base sports package.
