Nismo feels SLOW! :(

At least a second faster in the 1/4, and they handle very well. The inside is atrocious, but from a performance standpoint a base C6 is a lot more car than any stock Z, base or Nismo. It's the average Vette owner that's the problem.

Just my 2 cents, I test drove a Nismo Z and a C6 Z06 back to back. Literally got out of one and into the other one. Yes, the Vette was faster but I walked away more impressed with the Nismo. There's more to a sports car than just horsepower.

My mind was made up and I was going to get a Nismo, then I made the mistake of test driving a tuned up/modified C5 Z06. What a beast that thing was. Literally a race car that was street legal. Then I stopped by the Texas Corvette Club's annual get together - felt like I was at an AARP meeting!

I'm so confused!

By the way, anyone want to buy a nice Maxima?!?!?!
