I'm extremely new here so please go easy on me (unless I say something absolutely stupid - which might actually occur in this post

). I've been reading alot about the Nismo 370Z and many folks say all the extra stuff is "overpriced" and some actually say its "a waste of money". Could somone actually outline with real data what it would take to modify a Base 370Z with Sports Package to be equal to or better than a Nismo 370Z? For the sake of argument, let's use MSRP so everything is equal (conservative in my opinion) and call it $7,000 difference in cost between the two and let's assume I am a capable person that can do some car work myself. What could I do to Base+SP for that amount? The best possible outcome would be a car faster in the straights and the twisties so let's shoot for that.

Thanks, Lin
