:iagree:

Yes it does and they state that. READ

Zombiethread attack!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I'll try to remember the next 30 to 40 times i go from 0 to 100 and come to a dead stop that my brakes could fail!! from my house to where ever i'm going my sports package brakes work just fine.

I've read this entire thread and no one has mentioned this. The NISMO slammed into the wall at 50 MPH on a 45 MPH turn. Yet it was not a lack of driver talent. Granted, I was not there, so what do I know?

This lack of airflow over the brakes, reminds me of my old 280 Z. When I came down a hill at freeway speeds, the cars airflow brought exhaust fumes into passenger compartment. The solution was to add a 90 degree bend to the tip of exhaust pipe.
Now this oversight.

Purpose-built and passionately engineered, the NISMO 370Z™ features race-bred, factory-tuned, extreme Nissan performance parts and accessories.

I felt mislead by this advert. If purpose built then for what purpose. Extreme also infers better than five minutes of driving time. I wanted a NISMO initially. The much maligned "salesman" talked me out of it. He had one for sale too, but after talking to him and telling him of my planned usage, he set me down at a computer and said research it. For me it is all about handling not 18 HP. I read about better slalom times with touring sports package.
I once had an autocross set up before, and on a smooth track the NISMO may shine, but on bumpy California roads, too stiff of a suspension leads to "travel" and decreased performance, which was once an issue for me, and I felt similarly about the NISMO.
I am so happy I avoided the hype, even though I bought the oil consuming model instead. Thats about 3/4 quarts per 500 miles, and still I feel better off.
Yes I know I still have the same brakes, but the engine oil always overheats long before the brakes fade. See no brake problem.
