A Nismo is designed for road driving, drag racing needs weight transfer. A Nismo's suspension is too stiff, but with much soft rubber of a SLICK, good drag racing is still possible..........
Take a look at the drag times for FI cars. Only one guy has touched a 1.6, and he was on drag radials. The rest of the list is closer to 1.8 regardless of tires. Launching a boosted Z is tricky.

Also, Phunk is one of those guys who knows what he's talking about. Rather than saying something is meaningless, you should be taking notes. You've had a 370 for less than a week. He's been engineering and developing parts for the platform for years.
