59. Nissan Nismo 370Z 1:06.643
61. Nissan 370Z 1:06.669

Huge lap time difference there...*snicker* *snort*

OP - if having the word NISMO plastered all over your car means everything to you, and you absolutely MUST HAVE it, go for it. Otherwise, get a base+sport, like others have said. You'll save money in the end if you intend to mod it at all.

Agreed. The NISMO look is nice, but the gains for 8 grand extra are minimal. A Base+Sport and 8k in suspension and engine upgrades will shut down most at the track in its class.

Being a Nismo owner, it hurts to read threads like these.

I guess the real question is, can you notice the price difference in the base+sports vs the Nismo? If you can, get the Nismo. If you can't, don't.

But all these people saying that you pay 8k more (which is the difference between INVOICE of base/sports and STICKER for Nismo, btw...) for the word "nismo" to be stamped all around your car are sadly misinformed about the differences and the value of those differences.

base+sports package would be the way to go for track...

you say you dont need the comfort aspect of it so i dont recommend touring package, although i have and am glad i chose it...

throw some coilovers, oil cooler, exhaust and intakes on and taker to the tracks..

or get the nismo and youll still need the oil cooler atleast...then exhaust and intakes too...

I dont think anyone is saying anything bad about the nismo, I happen to like it quite a bit, but I think when value comes to mind, price-wise, the base/sport is a better option. But I agree, if you have the money, why not. But if you plan to mod and track it, the choice is yours..
