Sport models have it and says optional for Nismos (I assume this is because the transmission is optional).
welllllll i mean........is there really a reason to buy a base model?

Yeah, the 18" wheels are faster than the 19's for one. You will always get faster times with the 18" wheels. The base is also lighter. As far as brakes, the sports are better, but the rear spoiler slows down the car. Bridge-stones are ripoffs & I like Yokohama's better. AUTO!

How does the spoiler slow the car down? Is this on the sport?

That is a base+sport model, OP is revering to just a base model with 7AT (no sport).

I get what you're saying, but I'm telling you, the '15 370z 7AT without sport package has no paddle shifters. Saw it with my own two eyes.

First we had 6MT vs 7AT. Now we have 7AT vs 7AT paddle shifter. When will it all end.
