Yes, porshe is built from the ground up for the track, everyone of their models. I actually am proub the nismo did as well as it did, I'm sure if that same race was repeated a few more times, with the drivers switching cars, that the nismo could come on top one time.

Well boys! I think we are in league with Porshe now!

I hate that they keep using the Nismo. The Z34 with Sports package was MUCH more competitive against the Porsches than the Nismo. The Nismo is just too heavy...

I agree the same company did a test with a base Z that had sport package vs caymen s I believe?? And the Z only lost because they caymen was more refined.

lets not kid ourselves, We wont be better than a Porsche. Maybe a panamera or their SUV, but thats about it. They are one step up from our 370z, and I'm not ashamed because well, they have a PORSCHE, and I have an Nissan!

This. I would be disappointed if the Porsche didn't win.

Wow. So that extra suspension hardware and extra horsepower only gets you .026 faster; Super.

I am talking as far as on track performance. The Z w/Sport came from the back of the pack and finished just behind the CaymanS. Granted that was the 290 HP Cayman S. I bet the Nismo could not even do that as it was not in the back of the pack, but the front and got passed. I have no doubt in my mind that the Z with Sports package would have faired better in this race.

not too bad result considering the nismo is the least expensive of all the cars there.
