Performance:Nismo vs Touringw/sport pack

No, but the NISMO's front splitter might make it more difficult getting into driveways and such.

I went with the Nismo because I just love the body much more than the regular Z and on top of that the rims. Nismo rims > sport package rims in my opinion.

1. If you are refering to the spring spacers then yes the ride quality dramatically changed. It is much more softer without the spacers. It is still stiffer than the base but has a more sporty feel.
2. I believe it is only .4 inch lower than the regular Zs. Not much difference. The only problem is the front bumper sticking out too much which gives you problems going up and down ramps. Most speed bumps I do not have an issue with.
3. The two car performance wise, there isn't really much. The feel of both cars are a bit different though. When I test drove the base Z it is softer on the road.

I have a NISMO, my driveway has a fairly decent incline to it, if I approach it at an angle and get one tire on it, then straighten the car out, it comes up just fine. Same thing for backing out. Approach it straight on and you won't be smiling!!!

The car is stiff, but not near as bad as my 96 Vette. I can live with the stiffness, road noise is very noticeable. Turn up the stereo and it mysteriously goes away... Just don't get understand why...

How do I find if I have those black braces that are being talked about? I believe the dealership removed them, I just don't know that they did.
