2009 Nissan 370Z - First Test numbers for the new Nissan 370Z - Motor Trend

ill find some more when i have time, because from what ive read, most show them as being about the same...

There arent too many articles actually comparing the 2, but if you look for the times separately, you will see that a majority of them list them at just about the same, 0 - 60 typically at 4.6 - 4.8...

Yes to 0-60, but it is the slalom times that I'm focused on. Skid Pad too.
What does all the Nismo stiffness accomplish? Why suffer through something that does not go faster around turns?
