Tires are louder? Aren't the tires are the exact same model as come on the base 370 except 40mm wider.

My impressions with only 109 miles is that the suspension is noticeably stiffer )especially in the rear, but by no means harsh. The predilection for understeer is all but gone. There is still some body roll, mostly in the front, that could be cleaned up with a stiffer front sway bar. Overall the NISMO is more poised and balanced. I've heard all kinds of bad things about the NISMO, but I'll tell you that after almost 22K miles in my PG 370 the NISMO is a better sports car. Sometimes sports cars can put up identical numbers but one or the other be a clear winner because of driver satisfaction. The NISMO is the second most satisfying car I have ever driven (Z06 is the first). The dynamics of turning in and powering out of curves have changed completely. Drive one HARD and you won't be disappointed.

I will admit that I miss my heated seats (but not the leather) and I really notice not having sat radio or a subwoofer. For the average person the touring or touring+sport will be the best bet for a daily, but if you are like me and drive for the thrill the NISMO will make you forget the stereo and butt warmer.
