The first Z I bought was a 1983 280zx. I drove it for 3 months before learning that a turbo model was offered as well as T-tops. That's all I wanted and the normal zx was not good enough anymore. Sure people swapped in turbo motors and modified their n/as to be better than 280zx turbos (this was in the late 90s), but a turbo t-top manual transmission seemed better. I finally found one I liked and decided that from now on, there's no point in getting anything else other than exactly what you want in a car. If you feel you like the looks of a nismo, then get the nismo. Most people will never get around to frankenstening nismo parts on their 370z, much less getting a nismo body kit on it. Don't half *** what you want.

I learned the hard way with my last car: 2007 wrx, wanted the Sti. Ended up pouring $13k into the stupid thing with multiple parts, tunes, maint, everything over 6 years. In the end, it never handled like I wanted it to, it just became nervous at the limits, and 3rd gear self destructed. Take the higher car payment > sinking thousands in cash which could go into retirement/investment/etc... |

The only difference for me btw Nismo and base+sport is the final ratio that can be compared here https://www.z1motorsports.com/upload...GearRatios.pdf
Everything else on this car is pretty much the same to me.
