I guess the tires, rims, suspension, body kit and wing cost Nissan nothing, and are utterly worthless. I'm going to go kill myself now because I made such a terrible decision.

Tires are not much diffrent then the sport, RIMS look pretty much the same as the sport, and you can buy BETTER suspension and a BETTER body kit for LESS than the Nismo cost difference over the sport (and it COSTS WAY MORE than the base)..........

Congrats on buying a slower car with a body kit for MORE MONEY.......


P.S. those carbon fiber tire valve tips would look GREAT on your NISMO........

According to a fellow Auto-X'er this past weekend I should have gotten a Nismo instead of my Sport Touring.

I found the comment amusing but kept it cordial and replied with an okay.

There's nothing wrong with having a Nismo, sport, or base as its basically the same car with different options.

What specifically did he say a NISMO would give you that your Sport Touring wouldn't? It seems the extra horsepower just allows a NISMO to have larger tires, more weight and more downforce without losing speed to a base Z. I would think that none of that would make much difference in autocross.

You know what I'm just going to let it go. We can be the better men and get this thread back on track. I got some serious looks from the ladies at work today when some of my team went to lunch.
