Only when I am at the track do I feel the need for a C6 powerplant. I'd love the thought of 100+ more HP, but on the street my Z competes very well without.

The article was a mixture of apples to apples and then to oranges as has been pointed out by others. The Nismo has often lost to the base sport for some reason, and this seems to be more of the same. As so often occurs the newer model is heavier than past iterations.

The part I do not understand is that the yen has been devalued and the car got more expensive in dollars.
