Looking for So-Cal Nismo Z to track vs a S2000 CR 11/29 Streets of Willow
R&D Factory is hosting a day at Streets of Willow on the 29th of November.
Original thread here:
https://my350z.com/forum/southern-ca...le-battle.html
I'll be driving a S2000 CR, and would like to see a (some) Nismo Z(s) out there. I will be running full factory trim, and the car is all stock minus an upgraded clutch.

bump... after all the Z's trash talking the s2k, nobody wants to step up?
Looking for an apples to apples battle
I will run OEM brake pads if that's the case on the Z.

The CR outperforms the Z in every performance category EXCEPT straight-line acceleration according to R&T.

That's the course they did the test on.

Hmmm. Very tempting, but I have no track experience and i would hate my lack of experience to give the NISMO a bad name. I would like to get to the track though.

.29 seconds on a 1.4 mile course? Thats what... 1.25 carlengths assuming they're averaging 65mph?

The Nismo Z & CR are both cool cars.

S2000s aren't all that sir. I have raced them on road courses and beat them in my NISMO even in the turns. They feel like they handle well because of the size and weight, but they aren't all that compared to the NISMO. The only place they shine better is a tight road course like a autox.

A SNELL approved helmet is required (as on all tracks).
Give either me or R&D factory a call if you need more info.

The Z's power advantage is so overwhelming that the S's handling advantage isn't enough to make up the difference.
