Does the Nismo 370z handle better than the 370z sport package?

it does. those times were on willow springs. its bumpy as a peanut turd there, on a smooth track with some "NOT POS YOKO" tires on it you might quickly notice its a setup meant to run soft track tires and will perform better. And..... the 1/4 time is common sense, cars with a stiff rear cant hook, especially with low pro tires. But if you learn to DRIVE the car, which these reviewers have not as they have it for a day...... you learn to launch it. Ive raced 5 stock for stock sports and bases against my nismo and I havent lost yet in the 1/4. Im no god driver ether, im claiming its 100% car not driver. This is my second nismo. I owned a base first, then a sport, then an 09 red nismo, now the 13. yes it handles better....... but omfg be warned, its the worlds most uncomfortable car EVER on normal roads. if you ran over some change on the road, you could tell if its a quarter or a nickle.

man speaks the truth...after sway bars and stiffer coilovers I'm able to tell the difference between nickle or a dime

+1 to the other comment of stiffer doesn't mean faster...

Just to make sure did you take the spacers out?

and I agree NISMOs are quite bumpy on road. I hope all sports cars feel this way.

The M3 is both comfortable and accurate when driving. Proving that bumpy isn't always needed (oh, and I would never own a Nazi car, don't hate them exactly, but I hate them)

Believe it or not, even though the nismo has some really stiff suspension, it really isn't that bad compared to my veloster.

My veloster going over the same bump feels like im falling off a cliff or something. At speeds, the nismo at least rebounds a lot better than the veloster. Veloster at speed going over a bump makes it lose traction and lose control.

The Veloster is my daily and when I jump into the Z, it feels like a huge upgrade. LOL

oh.... wow I was considering one of those briefly....... you just convinced me otherwise. I will just buy another WRX like I always do. cheap, reliable, safe, and nothing beats them for a winter workhorse.

I echo the rebound comment. Low speed, it's stiff, not for everyone. However, traveling triple digit through banked curves with uneven surfaces/dips, the stockers do keep the car balance in check quite well IMHO.

Some cars, spring may be stiff but the damper can't keep the spring in control, I feel that nismo's oem shocks does the job in this area.
