its cheaper to get a base and build it better and faster than buying a NISMO, so performance isn't really a valid answer, well, it is if you want performance turnkey.

although i'll admit the body kit is nice (minus the spoiler).

I only say that because your looking for NISMO, but you want touring + Nav + sport.

keep trying the dealerships, eventually you'll get what you want, but it may take many trips. took me combined 10 trips to 4 different dealers.
I agree. I thought about the Nismo but decided 2 get a Base w/Sport. The extra $8,000 I would spend on the Nismo I could mod the Sport and spank the Nismo's a$$.

To be fair the Nismo should get $8k in mods as well.. Then who's gonna do the spanking?

Seriously no need for ricer logic (modded vs stock) or hating.. A Z be it a base, touring, non/sport pkg or Nismo or whatever...Their all the same family.

Wasn't there a post a while back which showed a comparison article Nismo vs. Z? I think it suggested that the Nismo had no better performance numbers than the standard Z. The standard Z actually had better numbers in 1 or 2 categories. $8K is a lot of cabbage for a body kit, a different exhaust note and a badge.

Edmunds had a test but the NISMO only had 1000 miles on it (not broken in) and they were pulling something like a .91 on the skidpad. There was something seriously wrong with that particular car that day. Physics just says it ain't so given the specs on the car. It weighs something like 60 lbs more but has 18 more HP. That more than makes up the difference yet they had the NISMO as slower. I suspect the tires. If it isn't hooking up or gripping, you will loose a bit on acceleration and a lot on skidpad.
