Greddytwin350Z when the 3 different versions of the Nismos were reviewed on Motor Trend (you can find the 3 videos on this page: http://www.motortrend.com/search/art...t=Nismo%20350Z )
The 2007-08 Nismo package was given the most credit and considered a better car.

And what about your facts? The Nismo is just another Z with a body kit and boxed in frame?
Little more to it than that. Put a turbo on a Nismo and they'll be just as fast!
Please tell me you're a teen... at least then you'd have an excuse.

Ok, expert! I assume you know what your talking about! What else (and the white face gauges that I like) is different about the Nismo edt that is not on a regular 350Z?
1. Body kit
2. Numbered car
3. Wheels
4. Moderate suspension, and exhaust (not even comparable to actuall R-tune components)
5. Black and red interior (cloth)
6. White face guages
All of these things can be bought over the counter by anyone!

I have watched all the video's! And is it not said its ride isnt meant for the street? In the hands of the normal person alittle drive down the highway, no difference will be noticed!!!! But I guess all the nismo owners take thiers down to there local road coarse tracks to prove the difference! Because thats going to be the only way to notice a difference between the Nismo and a Grand Touring!

Ok, have you riden in a regular 350z 07-up? Can you personally tell a difference in the ride? I cant say because I have never riden in a Nismo edt. As far as the engine goes thier the same! Being you own one of the Nismo's I respect your opinion! Do you wish Nissan would have made the car loaded with all the options for a more sports car feel? (ie, leather/better stereo) Or in your opinion would that have made it less appealing to you? Or is the fact that its such a low production car mean the most?

Yeah you can get after market bumper that is a look-a-like but not OEM. I've even heard of nissan wanting the old parts back from the dealer.
The body kit is a actual test proven aero kit that was based off of the GTR series car. It produces down force on the front and rear of car unlike a stock car which has zero down force as by design. The engine that the 07 and up have a better stock header manifold than the 06 and down. Headers not nesserary horse power gain is minmum. The cat back exhaust is limited to the Nismo with the tips being bigger then the standard setup (yeah big deal). The only thing that you can get that we get on our cars is the suspension through Nismo products. I'm not sure if the suspension is the same anyways.

I do know the suspension that is on the Nismo edt's are not the same as in the Nismo Cataloge. But the V.2 is off the race car aswell. Do you think whats on the Nismo edt has the same down force as a V.2? I have never tried to buy any nismo edt body panels but on Mon I am going to ask my friend at the Nissan dealer if its possible to buy without a vin. If you buy enough the dealer can simply make up anything if needed! Have you personally tried and not been able to? But I will leave it at that for now because I am not sure. I will let you know tomorrow! I apologize if any Nismo owners have gotten insulted by anything I have written!!!! I love all 350Z's! I try to learn about as much as possible!

Ok is the roughness in your opinion worth the extra cash just to have a numbered car over a Grand Touring persay fully loaded? Thanks
