Nismo looks so much better by far! It still looks factory, and not aftermarket ricer.

Actually, a more valid comparison would be: does a $40000 Rolex with a titanium shell tell time better than its $33000 version that doesn't have a titanium case? Virtually identical internals, and all.

Obviously, the answer is no.

And of course the people who spent more will think its sour grapes lol.

Or people who wanted it but couldn't afford it put it down to justify their purchase and boost their ego.

I think that post about the availability of the the Nismo body parts is up to 14K read it's appearant a lot of people like it. Anyway haters will hate, that's why they are what they are.

You're starting to sound like those neighbors of mine who drive a Hummer... actually, I should say my ex-neighbors, as they lost their house due to buying stuff they couldn't afford

I've never seen someone beat around the bush so much, just hurry up and post up that we wasted our money on a nismo so you can feel better about your base Z and be on your way. Yeah we get it, you feel better about buying the base to the nismo, great, whatever stokes your ego. If you think people paid $40,000 for a nismo you couldn't be more wrong, try 1100 under invoice when mine was said and done, not much more then the base/sport tag. Not to mension a better resale then your base/sport. I could have gone either way on the sport or the nismo, love them both. Thanks for reading.....

Lol, GTFO kid. Its well known that if you plan to actually spend money to modify the NISMO, all you did was waste cash for a body kit, stitching, and a number. Why bother saying it? The topic has been beat to death. I was simply correcting the comparison made by G Fo12ce , which basically made it seem like the NISMO was a Rolex and the base 370 was like a Timex.

Time and again, its been proven their performance is almost identical. So, I made a far more valid comparison.

Personally, I'd say with his shoddy comparison, HE was the one making it seem like anything OTHER than the NISMO was worthless.

Yeah and all your saying is anything other then a base/sport is worthless so your not any different then him. You spent 3K extra for a sport package and I spent a few more for nismo package, So what? Who doesn;t like big boobs? Seriously, is it really your business how people spend their money, nope. End of story. Obviously we all bought the Z for similar and different reasons, accept it and move, the e-bashing is childish. Oh and you forgot nismo wheels too. LOL

No, in this case, the $40000 Rolex does keep time better than $33000 one. The Nismo has much better suspension, aero parts, wheels, more power/torque, better seats, body dampers. So its not just the same rolex with a titanium case. Which means for you Nismo haters, SOUR GRAPES!

Hey Vipor - care to put your input on this? Im not going to bother since, god forbid, I'm not a NISMO owner (BTW, G Fo12ce, I had definitely squashed anything with you or the rest of the thread for that matter, but this guy takes the cake...). The fact that you actually listed aero parts makes me chuckle, though...

He just meant the body kit, which, visually, is the defining trait of the Nismo imo. And from the prices of these pieces individually, it's definitely the biggest chunk of the "value' of the Nismo.

I'd certainly hope so, because ANY performance gain from them is practically non-existent at best...

Now, if he was saying its a performance gain? Yeahhhhh....
