Why not find one of each and give them both a test drive?

Depends on what your really want I have a 07 z and my dad has the 07 nismo z, I've driven them both. The nismo is a better handeling car but I hate the rear of the nismo. And I've ran both cars at the track and neither one of us could break a 13.60 in the nismo but we both ran times below 13.40s in mine, both were stock at the time.

Its a personal choice. It also depends on if its your daily driver or not. The Nismo has a stiffer suspension and the ride is a little ruffer, but if you don't mind that then theres no problem. But I personally like the look of the 08 350z with a little work done to it (nice set of wheels w/ a drop etc.). So go test drive them both and choose, its your car.

2 things to consider.

1: Are your streets glass smooth?

2: Do you like the horrible rear on the Nismo?

If the answer is yes to both, get the Nismo.

+ 1 on the rear bumper. It's a little painful to look at IMO.
