In particular if you are switching out the sways, the exhaust and headers - add a tune and I would 'imagine' you would be faster than a Nismo at that point.

Only reason why I'm asking is that Nismo used to be a rare car but now its just a trim level since you are seeing different 'Nismos' on other cars such as the Juke. Just my .02 but good luck to everyone who is looking. By the way, not budging from $40k on a car that is going to be 2 years old in 6mo is just crazy to me. It's 'new' but NOT 'new'.

Obviously I can't speak for others, but the exact reason why I'm looking at purchasing the nismo is because I love the way it looks, mainly the body kit, and the seats are bad a$$. I'm not looking at modding the vehicle and the nismo comes with everything I want. I thought about buying a sport, but then getting a body kit, painting it to match, getting a new set of wheels and finding sport bucket seats while losing air bags isn't worth it to me. I agree with you though, for those who want to mod I think the nismo isn't a good choice, but there are folks with money who want to say they have a nismo lol
About your comment regarding not budging from 40k..are you referring to the dealers? If so, yeah it's ridiculous.

I had a 2010 40th Anniversary Z that I had modded for the track. At a minimum it required an oil cooler, Stiffer sway bars and coilovers. I do all the work myself and parts alone for all that were around $2,500. I haven't tracked my newly picked up 2017 Nismo yet, but initial impressions is that I will not have to do any of that.

I am a 95% daily driver and 5% Track Day driver (trying to change that ratio).

Also, I found my 2017 NISMO (non-TECH) at Carmax with 2,711 miles on it (I know, Carmax). I paid $38,998 and it is practically brand new. My local dealer would have to ship one in and could not consider anything below $40K for a new one.
