Seemingly worse in that one particular track review. Who knows, maybe they left the spacers on? Maybe it was overheating? There will be other comparo's so we'll see if another mag gets different results. I'm not really expecting the Nismo to do all that much better than the Base w/Sport, the only significant difference is the improved damping in the suspension.

The Nismo uses the Advan Sport instead of the Bridgestone RE50A's. The rears are 10mm wider but the fronts are the same width, the rims are also 1/2 an inch wider. It's quite possible that the Advan's just aren't quite as sticky. They are 180TW vs the RE50A 140TW, but it's hard to cross reference those numbers between manufacturers.
