How many mpg does the wind tunnel tested bumper give you? I thought that only came into play when driving around 80 mph anyways, which isn't functional on a track that isn't le mans...
Anyways, i didn't know that about the 370 nismo, that's pretty bad. I just think the amount of money you pay for a nismo Z compared to spending all that money on upgrading an hr isn't too impressive. Now I just think neither of them would have been worth buying.
It's kinda like the s2k vs. s2000 cr, you can make a normal one just as good for a fraction of the cost...

Not bashing the Nismo 350Z, but the only modification that a regular HR Z owner would have a difficult time duplicating is the additional structural reinforcements or extra welds on the frame. Aside from that, it's fairly easy to exceed whatever rebadged parts Nissan installed on the car. In fact, if I were fortunate enough to have a Nismo 350Z, the first thing I would do is replace that hideous rear bumper.
A. Pay more for a quicker than standard track ready Z.
B. Pay more for a slower than standard, non-track ready Z.

Oh right that's why the Nismo 370 is not even a second faster than a track edition 350 let alone the nismo 350z. 50 HP bump means nothing, a quick ecu tune and the 350z nismo can be putting out more hp than the 370z nismo.
