Ok.

Yes. Visually its different. Performance wise, don't fool yourself, it's well documented that a Nismo has a hard time outperforming a Sport package Z despite it's stiffer suspension, chassis bracing, wider wheels, and bump in hp. A BMW M4 is quite different than a 435i in performance and visual depts. A Nismo Z's performance is, not very different at all.

To each his own. For essentially the same performance and price (of a pre 2015 Nismo Z), I'd rather a nicer interior vs the in your face body kit/wing. The Nismo, however, does have some very nice wheels.

I agree.
The Nismo has more hp but also weighs more so it's a wash. There is no interior upgrade besides a different color stitch and Nismo embroidered on the seat.
The exhaust weighs more and sounds like a vacuum.
The wheels are really nice

Having owned a Nismo and a regular 350z. I wouldn't spend the extra money on a Nismo unless they do it right and make it stand far apart from the sport pack.

The Nismo is great I'm not trying to knock it but the extra 10k I paid I learned later was a very big waste of money to me.
