here is where a touring model out performs a nismo and in most cases you find the nismo equal or performing very slightly better, dont let it fool you.

i've looked so much into this whether i want a nismo or base model, here is my old thread before i made up my mind: Nismo Body Kit

Car isn't broken in yet ( about 1000 miles on the OD) and the last people I trust for perfomance driving is Edmunds. They consistantly get worse performance than average out of every car they test. The real sin here is no oil cooler. Nissan did significantly stiffen the car and add HP that should easily make up for slight weight gain. I don't see how the NISMO, given it's upgrades, could do so bad on something as simple as a skid pad test. Others are pulling .98's and .99's while Edmonds got a .91. That doesn't even match a 350Z. Something is definately not kosher with this test or that particular car. I'm betting much better results in the future.
