That said, the Z cost at least 15k less than the 1m coupe. A few mods totaling less than $3k will put the Z much much closer to Cayman R performance if not match it.
The 6MT Z is 0-60 in 4.6; the 7AT is 4.5 last time I checked. Don't sleep on the Z. I actually picked one up over the 1 and opted not to wait for the 1M Coupe. That said, as stated earlier, it was out of line for that person to laugh.. I still like the 1M, but am glad I did not wait for it.

I'm all for supporting one's purchases, but you need a reality check, and I hate to bag on a fellow Z owner.
The Nismo 370z is only marginally better than the 370z. In fact, on the street, the 370z will take it's Nismo brother at the stop light. The Nismo 370z only shines on a track, thanks to its revised suspension set-up... but even then not really since the car is plagued with over-heating issues.
So in short, the Nismo 370z doesn't hold a candle to the 1M, nor does the 370z.
And p.s. 0-60 for the 370z is 5.2 seconds, for the Nismo 370z is 5.3
And the auto's are slower. No dual clutch, overly fancy launch control here.
It's still a decent car, but no need to make it out as something so much better than what it really is just to justify yourself not buying a 1M.
