- Then a Roadster. This engine was very smooth and linear. It didn't seem to have the soft low end the Nismo had, nor did it have erratic jumps in power while revving into higher engine speeds.
Both of these cars were new, so I'm not sure what was going on with the Nismo ?

It was probably spinning and VDC was limiting it. The first time I hit the traction control in a car that was aggressive with it, I thought I had blown the engine.
