Default Best Motoring Nismo 370z vs Spec C vs Evo vs NSX-R vs Tom's IS-F

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCRwKv4qQ5k

Nismo 370z 355ps
Spec C
Evo (Ralliart springs, intake, and exhaust) 300 PS
Tom's IS-F (suspension) 420ps
NSX-R 280ps

Was disappointed in the Z considering how much lighter it is compared to the STi and the Evo.

Sorry - I meant the Nismo didn't make a good showing in the race - it wasn't very competitive. It looked like he had to catch it alot in the corners...

It's actually been found that NISMO 370z's dont like to stick to the track as well as they're supposed to.

Tires are important:
370Z - 19" Bridgestone RE050
Evo - 18" Advan AD08
IS-F - 19" Bridgestone RE11
NSX-R - 17" Bridgestone RE070

Thumbs down nismo 370.

big fan of the z. but the 370. could have been better. it seem so much of the drivers fault. but the car highly overrated. i think nissan should have took it back and F.I. the Z again.. end of story...


come on nissan

most of you take BM's races way too seriously..

i remember when they ran a 135i vs e92 and they "coincidentally" both ran 13.3 in the quarter mile.. what they were trying to convey is that the germans made their flagship m series as slow as their entry-level sports coupe. BUT we all know the e92 runs faster than 13.3 and the 135i slightly slower than 13.3. This is an example of their biased reviews..

nonetheless they make some interesting videos to watch..

I didn't want anyone to think I was conveying anything less than disgust at the stupidity present in this thread, and the emocon is too cute to risk.
