Mini Cooper to 370z

Unlike JWC Mini, the Nismo is not really faster than a Sport Package Z. The Nismo has a more aggressive exhaust, wider wheels, stiffer & slightly shorter springs/dampers, a body kit and Nismo labeling. If you like the Nismo it's probably worth it and you will get some of that money back when you sell or trade. I got the Base Model with the Sport Package because I liked the look and couldn't justify the cost of the Nismo. Years ago I had a similar choice between a 99 Camaro Z28 and a 99 Camaro SS, that time I went with the SS so I've gone both ways on this issue.

Remember, you won't get your money back on your mods so make sure you are doing things you really want. If all you end up doing is making a Sport Package into a Nismo copy you might as well get the Nismo in the first place.
