If they want Nismo's to sell as a premium over a standard car, especially a sports car, it needs to be measurably better. With the Z, 18bhp is laughable when it's 100lbs heavier than a base one. Tires and suspension need to be better too. It can only make par with a SP model on braking, cornering and acceleration. Even the figure 8 times or slalom aren't any better. A base sport Z is the poor mans Nismo because it gives 95% of what the Nismo does for $6,000 less. Make it worth it's premium.
I don't mind other sporting or offroad vehicles in the Nismo lineup, but the Nismo Juke is abysmal. 10hp bump and the AWD still has a CVT... Give it 40 more and a 6mt.
