Yes you can build a custom car for the same or cheaper than the nismo, but as an overall package this car is a good value. Will I modify this car,sure. But until then I have a warranty without question.
Everyone talks about buying aftermarket parts and ending up with a better car for cheaper but no one talks about cost to install these items. Time is money. I wrench my own car(after warranty) but still installing these things takes time. Is the body ricer? Maybe to much for some. I wish the rear wing was smaller, but really like the lines of the front and sides, especially in black(my fav). I have tracked my 350 at various venues and it was a joy. I have a feeling that the nismo will be just as much fun. The oil cooler is an issue for all of us and I have been hammering away at a resolution. I have a nissan motorsports part # now, but am waiting on price and availabilty. I too wish this car had more HP(400 would be the magic number) but alas this is what we were given. My price for the car with destination charges was 38,500 plus TTL. So beat me up flame me or whatever, but for my two cents, this is a great car
