Do any of the have the power the Z has, which requires it to stop from a higher MPH?
I am not saying either is to blame, but Nissan has done everything fine in advertising this car (370z). The magazines, public view, etc. have put it on the track because the Z comes from a heritage of being a track oriented car, but this is a street car first. Nothing wrong with that, but when it comes down to it there are going to be sacrifices.

According to the article, the Nismo finished mid-pack in just about every area of the track. I don't see where it was pushing a higher MPH anywhere. I love my Z, I'm very disappointed it's performance vs every other vehicle in this test, that's all.

What I am saying is that the Z can reach a higher MPH and must brake from a higher MPH than other cars. It might have lost in other situations on the track which contributed to the slower time, like hitting a wall.

I am not overly disappointed in its results, it seems like the driver attempted to push the car, but in the end we see what really happened. He crashed it for whatever reason.
