Before you rip me a new *******, I want honest opinions on whether it is worth driving an hour to test drive a Nismo version. How different is it?

Thx for any assistance
Probably the only difference will be the handling. I drove my friends Touring model and even with the upgrades the touring had, the Nismo felt better. I modded mine to get a better sound. The nismo does not sound any meaner at all. They sure made the car quiet. Cant comment on the view, I have no problems with the view. I would rather drive this car then any Vette out there!
