And if the steering wheel is the MOST memorable part, they need to work on the car more, LOL
Troof...

Not sure if they made any suspension changes over previous Nismo models though. Stock exhaust still sounds terrible... Not sure who in Nissan signed off on either one, but they need fired. Seats work, but aren't spectacular. Push back on the headrest and you can feel the metal rods in your back. Did he even touch the brake pedal or comment on them at all? I am a fan of the whole 2 tone package though, and that's very subjective.

Well I think the whole headrest thing is actually supposed to be a "feature". Maybe its supposed to support your head but pushing into your back when you get rear ended. At least that is how I interpreted it. But I could be wrong....

According to many of the euro mags and websites, the suspension tuning from the euro Nismo Z is different from the american.
