LOL! I'd be willing to give any stock 370 Z a 2 second head start on local road courses. Suspect I would make up time within half a lap.

Dont underestimate suspension, power and handling advantages of the Nismo. I dont think Nismo was building a drag racer my over blown friend.

But hey its a free country if you want to ruin a stock 370Z, void warranties, etc go for the major aftermarket pimp and blow! I think most educated buyers will see value of the Nismo over buying a Sport model and adding a bunch of cheezy or very expensive aftermarket parts.

But at least have a sense of humor about it!

I cant tell if your joking or not anymore but here in SA its usually the nismos that are stuck on lots getting discounted for sale vs other models...

Depends on what you mean by fast. The z isn't relatively slow in terms of performance cars.

I guess i tend to think of it from what I see on the road. So with that, i say its a fast car. In the whole spectrum of things, sure theres alot of cars that are faster, but theres probably more that are slower (cars in general)... All in all, its all about the money you spend. You got the cash, you can get or make any car fast or faster...
