Yep. It tied the M3 around Streets of Willow.

On a smooth track it can. Once the surface isn't perfect it begins to show its (many) flaws. Plus, some of it was the fact that it has much more torque, and can put it down better on corner exit since Z's have problems putting power down.

very interesting... i never noticed the Z not putting down power if your in the right gear at the right time... then again i've never taken it to a track.

but comparable power/torque cars like lets say the m3 or porche don't seem to have the same squirmish reaction or difficulting putting the rubber on the asphalt... any insight?

Z can put its power down, but requires Upgrades most important LSD, fatter tiers and coilovers.

P.S. forgot to mention bushings, nissan bushings are terrible.

Right, so a stock Z has some issues in that area. Lightning Lap only tests stock vehicles.

well to their credit if you were to do a lsd/bushing/suspension on one car you'd have to do it on all cars... so doing stock only is a fair comparison as OEM VS OEM style battle.

then again I wouldn't touch the track until i get track pads + brake ducts installed for the front.

I've always thought those comparisons need to spec a tire for the manufacturers to use, otherwise it's borderline meaningless.
