Not my words, just a forum joke from the 335i vs 370Z thread

I'm sure this is what the V8 M3 owner in this picture was thinking when he was passed by a stock powered Nismo. We were turning nearly identical times all weekend long in time trial series. He was on DOT R tires. He was slightly faster in straight line but my corner entry and exit speeds were faster.



Something test results don't reveal well are true track dynamics of a given car. The 370z Nismo on JRZ coil overs and upgraded brakes runs into and out of turns with the best of the best in similar hp to weight. There were very few street cars able to lose me in the turns. The other thing that I noticed is that at speeds over 75 mph the Nismo cuts through the air better than most cars. the aero bodywork seems to allow the less powerful Nismo hang with higher HP bricks.
