I'll concede the springs point. Completely forgot those were different.

The sway bars argument I can't agree with though. Street class allows replacement of one, so replace the front bar with a stiffer one. This still leaves the rear bar which is stiffer on the Nismo. I would argue that this is actually penalizing the Nismo as it will make it more tail happy and harder to power out of turns.

And let's not forget the Nismo is actually heavier than the base+sport. Yeah it has 18hp more but that is mostly due to the Nismo cbe which is something the non-nismo guys can replace anyways in the street class.

Also does anyone have any actual real life data showing the Nismo's superiority over the non-nismos is autox? If you do, please share.
