Keep in mind the 18's run less rubber (245 vs 275) and have no limited slip diff. The spoiler does not slow the car down; Nissan spec for base drag coefficient (.30) is higher than the sport model with the spoiler (.29).

The base rear differential is set up better for the drag strip in comparison to the lsd

I think the auto is great, but with the stiffer suspension offered in the NISMO, you may want an extensive test drive, especially if the roads are bad in your area.

Or you can be like most of us who DD our Zs and JUS DO IT because racecar.

Driving a sports car in bumper to bumper traffic on a daily would be annoying regardless of the transmission type, especially when you have 350hp at your disposal and can't even use it. Beater car for daily driving and Nismo for a weekend warrior
