I have seen some websites saying the Nismo is slower in quarter mile then a original 350z, it said it probibly had to do with the extra downforce. Is that true? Can the Nismo even hit a top speed of 160 like a original? It also said that the base 350z pulled off a better skidpad??

Its not bragging rights, i wanted to know if you pretty much can feel the difference. I asked about top speed because that would show the car would be slower... ex, if the car top speed would be 120 then at highway speeds the car wouldnt even have any acceleration. I'm not saying the Nismo is slower, im just asking where the f did this website http://www.allcargarage.com/2007-nissan-nismo-z.html get there info. (last paragraph)

That test is not very good. All their times were slow and their skidpad was low compared to what others have come up with. Honestly they will be so close you will not be able to tell the difference. Is will come down to what car is driven better. Go to a dealer and drive both and see if one feels faster than the other...having done that I can tell you will not be able to tell a difference.

One could argue the Nismo rear muffler flows more and could aid in a few HP which would be enough to make up for the adding downforce.

I'm not solo...I'm not going saw it's law yet I'm a person of reason...
there is no real reason the car should lose on a strip...
downforce isn't that great at those speeds
I have personally hit 158 in my nismo
158 is damn near 160...
now if yall want to argue 2mph then you WIN 158 isn't 160
that's all KingBaby is saying

ok everyone is going crazy now for quarter-mile purpose I doubt if anyone took both cars to the track the nismo would lose 3 out of 3 runs... that's what I mean...

The downforce the kit causes will make the car slower than a Base 350z HR next to it going from 0-topspeed. The NISMO will lose because of weight and the downforce the kit has. But you put them both on a road course and the NISMO will walk away from the Base.
The NISMO is speed limited at 160mph and stops there. Now that I don't have a limiter I haven't had the opportunity to take it to 160+ again to see how quick it can actually go. Maybe one of these days I will again, but the hood lifting/shaking was a bit nerve wrecking.
