Convince me to get a Nismo 370z.

68 pounds does not seem like much, but at the track a tenth of a second can make a difference between winning and losing. Horsepower to weight ratio is important, but it still comes down to driver skill most of the time.

My approach to the Base/Sport over the Nismo reminds me of when I purchased a 5.0 Mustang in the late 80's. I chose the lighter, sleeper looking LX version over the heavier, more aggressive looking GT. Both cars were great drag strip cars and the competitive banter between the two camps were always fun.

And here we are over twenty years later with a similar situation. I have total respect for all 370Z versions and their owners, unless you have a color other than Pearl White and chose a CBE other than Stillen!
