Is Nismo Really Worth It?

TurboDreamZ · 10-06-2009, 02:59 PM

I have been wondering this question a while as well as have been searching
the forums for a while for a solid thread about this. So what is your personal
take on this question? If you could go back would you have went Nismo, or if
you are Nismo do you wish you didn't shuffle out the extra dough? Try to
convince me!

If you're gonna leave it stock then it may be worth it to go Nismo. If you're gonna mod and replace everything then obviously you're paying for stuff you're just gonna replace so go base model.

short answer: no

unless money killed your family and you want revenge.

This. You get factory coverage of your parts if that's important to you. I'd personally drop just some HFC's in it and leave the rest alone.

Care to explain what advantages the NISMO has over the Base/Sport when both are left stock?

I think the only real plusses are it's looks (I happen to really like it) and rarity being limited production. Besides that, it's a waste IMHO.

Believe me, I really really tried to like it, but in every test I've seen, it does equal to or worse than it's sport package counterpart, which even fully loaded costs less that the "bare bones" Nismo. It only theoretically performs better.

The car makes so many compromises for the sake of perfomance, but then doesn't actually perform. It's really perty though...
