I haven't driven a NISMO but my guess would be that the sport/touring wouldn't be that far off. Just keep in mind that it comes down to driver at a stock level. Chosing the wrong line, throttle, and brake inputs will screw you no matter what suspension/tires...etc... you have!
There is no significant variance between BM test-drivers. All are among the same skill level with comparable professional-driving experience. Still, the NISMO was the slowest in the group by over half a second compared to the 4th-place Z4...a relatively significant gap on such a short track like Tsukuba.
