best motoring 09-10 Nismo Z vs Z4 vs Porsche's

Let's not forget the NIsmo is heavier than than the Z Sport. I agree that a Base Z34 w/Sport package 6MT would fair MUCH better than the NIsmo.

I would really like to see the results of the 7AT on the track however..

After digging around YouTube for Best Motoring Tsukuba battles with the Base Z34, the two videos I found of separate tests showed its best lap times to be very consistent: 1:06.669 and 1:06.754.

Compare that to the NISMO's 1:09:055 around Tsukuba and it comes in behind the Base by ~2.34 seconds...a significant margin on any track, let alone one as short as Tsukuba.

For comparison purposes, the NISMO S-Tune did 1:07.110:
