Guys, the article states:
"Vehicle: 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z [...]
As tested Curb Weight (lb): 3,356"
"Vehicle: 2009 Nissan 370Z [...]
As tested Curb Weight (lb): 3,374 "
The NISMO tested was lighter than the other (and for some reason timed as slower).
I was sent another
article that states the opposite (that the NISMO is faster), I think that the differences
(+18 hp or 5%, +6 ft-lbs or 2%, wheels, suspension, tuning) more or less makes the driver and driving
conditions responsible for different results
