great responses, that video is sick! and that car has much closer to the look that i would be happy with (side skirts, rear bumper - i'd have to see it top down to know forsure how i feel about that large of a wing).

FYI: this will NOT be my daily driver, nice assumption TXSpeedDemon

I'm not interested in an automatic sports car

A mustang is nowhere near up my alley, looks god awful compared to any Z, and i'm assuming would be much heavier, not to mention u see them everywhere.

I'll probably trade the kia for something with 4x4 or at least more winter capable.

It's true, I really do want the Nismo, but after some of these responses (ie. the feeling of top down summer night driving) and the fact that you can apparently get a nismo (rear?) bumper that fits the vert model makes me REALLY lean towards roadster. just a little more aggressiveness in that back end would make it a clear cut choice.

Front and rear bumpers can be swapped out, as well as side skirts. The additional power of the Nismo is easily picked up with an exhaust and tune.

(also the fact that chicks are much more likely to dig any vert model of any car adds a couple extra points in favour of the roadster)
