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

Is it me or are Nismo owners starting to sound like BMW owners?

Lol. Just some of them.

Some of the braking distance discrepancy may be due to the stiffer Nismo suspension. If it's too stiff to allow weight to transfer around, you may see a longer braking distance. Lines and fluid are more for feel and repeatability, and they do very little in terms of stopping distance. The front tires are the same size as the Sport, and almost all braking is done by the front of the car. It's also on different tires, so it's hard to compare apples to apples.

Actually... the nismo is 20mm wider in front and back isnt it? 265 f 285r opposed to 245 265? And yeah i guess ur right, but it seems to push weight fwd just fine, its not THAT stiff. Dif tires to........ so who knows. Also the nismo comes with nismo break pads. If u opted for it. But u can get them on the sport. I have them, maybe thats why i notice a difference?

I just swapped from stock sport tires to Nismo wheels and tires. The front is 245 on both. The wheel itself is wider on the Nismo, but the tire is the same size as sport. Sport rears are 275s, so only a 10mm difference there as well.
