the Nismo is Tight!!!

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.
