Question About Future Buying (Nismo)

Dude, best bet is to test drive them both and see which car you prefer.

Unless you plan on tracking your ride, you're probably not going to notice an increase or decrease in 18 HP or some other number.

When you're talking about cars with 300 HP, another 18 HP is not really going to make a "world" of difference.

On the other hand, if you need a four seater (i.e, kids, pets, third wheel who always invites himself along, etc...), then that's more likely to play a role in whether you get a four-seater (Camaro, Mustang, BMW 135i, or G37), or if you're willing to sacrifice space for styling (370Z or Vette or a used Lotus).

Need, Budget and Styling Preferences will almost always trump whatever any magazine says about who is faster or who has more HP.
