Sport Auto ran a 7:38s lap time around the Nurburgring in the NSX in 1997.
Sport Auto ran a 7:26s lap time around the Nurburgring in the 350Z in 2003.

Motortrend ran a 1:46.5 lap time around Laguna Seca in the 370Z.
Top Gear ran a 1:57 lap time around Laguna Seca in the NSX.

Willow Springs:
370Z - 1:28.30
NSX - 1:32.59

Those are just a few tracks I picked, the 370Z has posted better lap times around essentially every track both cars have ran on.

Do you have a link to those times?

Also, what tires were being run on each car...


The NSX is definitely past it's prime-- I wouldn't buy one for the performance, but it is a classic. It was truly an epic car.

That can't be right because the 2012 GTR ran 7:24 in semi wet. That 350Z time was probably not the a full circuit.

Correction, it was 8:38 and 8:26.
