Bottom line, no faster straight line, but whips it up when you turn. Now that's

Welcome to the forums. Search is your friend. I will tell you what others have told me. Sometimes it is easier to find what you are looking for if you search from google with the following....

I have always wondered what exactly is the Euro Tuned shock absorbers mean. Are they non US spec shocks, meaning they didnt on purpose make them softer for the US market?

OP. The Z is a really nice sports car. If you will be changing the majority of what's on this list, get the base.

Sport Package: Viscous LSD, 19-inch RAYS super lightweight forged aluminum-alloy wheels with 245/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear tires, Nissan Sport Brakes, front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, Euro-tuned shock absorbers, SynchroRev Match® (MT only)

Oh yes, welcome to the forum.

is the rev matching also on the base model?

so the only uptake between touring and base is bluetooth.. leather heated seats and maybe navi? I dont need any of that.. but just wondered if rev matching is on base?

No SRM on base. Navi comes with rear camera and is quite handy. Go to a dealership to get a hard copy brochure so you can see all the options and the grouping. Here's an online brochure.

Welcome. If you will be changing the majority of what's on the list don't. The Sports package brakes alone are worth more than what you pay for the sports package.

Everyone keeps saying front spoiler, does anyone have a pic? My 2014 base has a plastic 'spoiler' on the bottom of the bumper, I've never noticed a difference on the sport package.

Are you sure? Sport package brakes are worth ~$1400 brand new, which is much less than the $3000 sports package.

A base model is like the buying a V6 Mustang

I'd call it hyperbole or poetic license.
