The Nismo is bumpy and loud, but in the correct hands it's a powerful car and properly setup.
Add some r spec tires to the mix and your are on rails. The Nismo feels like i am glued to the pavement. The other day I took a corner I could only do about 40 around in them 370 sport and took it at 60 in the Nismo. The car never under steered or over steered and I was pulling so hard in the turn that I realized that I need a 5 point harness and nothing loose in my car.

Yeah, it almost reminds me of those civics you see with cut springs going bouncebouncebounce after they hit a little ridge in the pavement. People can say what they want about the composite transverse leaf-spring, but unless you are corner-weighting the car, it's far superior. Progressive, and insures equal rate over each wheel, and absorbs stuff like this flawlessly. Nissan could take a few lessons from GM in the suspension department. Ferrari has.
My dream car:
GM MRC suspension/PTM
Ford FI motor.
Ferrari body airflow management.
Audi interior
BMW transmission
Porsche's chassis
Dodge rear-end/axles
Kia's price structure
