why so many used Nismos for sale?

I like my NISMO regardless of what people may say about here looks or added pounds.

"You know how you always read car reviews that say stuff like, "Even though [whatever] can hoof it around the Nürburgring in less time that it takes you to blink, it's equally happy just limping around town in second gear?" Well the Nismo is totally unhappy to limp around town in second gear. In fact, it's miserable and it lets you know just how displeased it is via the aforementioned grunts, groans and clanks. They're like a warning chime, "Please sir, you're not flogging me hard enough.""

And that's why I love her.

If you look at the msrp for Nismo vs. loaded 370z, the base is MORE expensive. By the time you add in the better flowing exhaust, body kit to cover that bucktoothed grin, and a proper set of custom rims that are probably heavier, you just blew the Nismo base price out of the water. Yes, 70hp more would have been nice, but in reality, how often would we get to use it?? Plus we should all be thankful that we got an excellent sports car for cheap!!! Anybody remember the price for a new TT 300zx (60k if you forgot)?? That's why the Z was cancelled in the US in the '90s.
