Tires are going to be a large factor in handling & stopping, and on the notion that the sport is faster/slower.
It has been shown both are faster, it comes down to what "test" is used. Honestly the Nismo was a let down, they threw on some parts and hoped it sold with no real thought on design and performance. Many owners I know of the Nismo upgrade the tires and see a world of difference, so again it came down to the accountants on the Z picking parts.
