Car and Driver Crashes a Nismo 370Z

I know full well what the cause is, and it can be blamed almost directly on whiney 350Z owners


Im assuming this is an admission of the fact that the Boxster isnt a bad car. Because if you think so, I think its fair to note the Caymen S MATCHED the time of the 911, with 65 LESS horsepower. I know some people are into the whole, "911 is the best Porsche zomg" mentality. Sad truth is, their mid-engined offerings are far more balanced, and the Boxster is an excellent example of that.

How do you figure? 1st: LL1 is $30K or less. A Base+Sport MSRPs for more than 30K, and they always go off of MSRP. 2nd: even if you go with base non-sport...the GT ran a 3:13.3, and the Nismo's best was 3:12.0. I can almost guarantee the less-sticky and smaller tires on the Base, not to mention the small horsepower deficit and even WORSE brakes, would handicap the Base even more. Winner: Mustang GT.

Long and short, its obvious the stock braking system (and of course, oil cooling) in the 370 is its Achilles heel at the moment. Fix those, and its perfectly track ready.
