If you have 07-08 NISMO would you trade in for 370Z ??
Do you have links please ? Every test is not going to be 100%
R.T is just another test. Every test is going to have diffrent numbers.
Did R.T test the NISMO 350Z ??

Has a Nismo Z EVER hit 0-60 in 4.7 secs? Has the 370 Z? Yes - MotorTrend Test.
The Nimso Z did the Slalom in 71.0 MPH as you noted above. Per Road and Track, they did the Slalom in 71.4.
The Nismo Z did the skp in .91g as noted above. The 370's best was .99g - MotorTrend test.
The 370Z is a better car overall; faster, stops better, handles as well if not better.

I can't see the 370z pulling off 4.7secs not with only 332Hp.
Maybe if car was under 3,000Lbs and had 360hp with 280Bhp

I'm sure the 370Z is a fine handling car, but you really can't tell which is the better handling car from slalom speeds and skidpad numbers. These figures give an insight about chassis dynamics, but is not the end story.
The numbers attained by the 370Z can partially be attributed to its better tires (assuming they have the pole positions) in the skidpad and it's slightly shorter wheelbase in the slalom times. Even if the 370Z has better figures, the Nismo may handle better, who knows, but I'd bet the 370Z handles just as well. Once you put coilovers and other suspension tweaks on the 370Z, I have no doubt it will out-handle the Nismo.
The Nismo is great, but Nissan has had five years to improve on the design, technology and chassis, so I would hope the 370Z would be an improved car. New is better, that's just how it is.
As far as straight-line performance, in real world scenarios such as on the highway, the 370Z will pull and pull quite hard on an stock HR. We can mag race all we want, but it's just a faster car.

It was the Edmunds review that stated that... The 370 is faster and handles like the Nismo Z; keep in mind, that is BEFORE the Nismo S Tune suspension! 
Although, if I had a Nismo Z, I would not trade. That is like going frm a C5 Z06 to a standard C6. There is just something special about the likes of the Z06/Nismo, etc....

Including mine, but that's not the point. The point is all these proud Nismo owners need to admit that the 370 is probably going to be an all around better car. Yes, even if it's not a Nismo version.
I am a "proud" Nismo owner, and I could give a rats **** if the 370, Corvette, Evo, Sti, or whatever is a better, faster car. Don't care. 
If I wanted one of those, I would have bought it. I chose the Nismo, and I'm happy with it. I know the rear is ugly, and it's heavy, and slow, and I could have used the extra cash I spent on it to build a better Z...I already know all those excuses why other people did not buy one. I went to see the 370 when it came to Houston, and I like it alot. I can't see myself trading my Nismo for one though, and it has nothing to do with performance or whatever other excuse you can think of. I actually love my Nismo, and that's all there is to this story.

Please don't start ****!! if you need too! then please go somewhere else!!
The NISMO 350z was not even built my NISSAN Built by Autech for NISSAN Motor Sports!
I happen to love rear of the car very very sexy have you ever seen the back of car?? going down the road I have, and it can not be touched.
The NISMO 350z is for high speed driving and tracking the car, For all you people who don't understand the body setup on the NISMO was put together for a reason:::
To Help the car at high speeds.
There is no reason to say anything about how 370z is better because I don't see it!!! and it's 3,355lbs car with 23 more HP wow!! both cars are 0-60 5.1 secs.
I love my NISMO only 1500 made and your going to never see some old lady, with one like you will with 370 over next 3 years!!.
