That's the first thing that came up with google.
Frost, we're talking the exact same engine here. My guess is that the only difference in the 332 HP (Base) vs 350 HP (Nismo) is an overrating of the exhaust on the Nismo side. Since the exhaust is true dual it's going to be less restrictive thus giving the Nismo a slight edge. I'll be the first to admit that I buy an exhaust system for the sound and not the extra ponies. So given all that, what common sense argument says that the Base model is faster? I'll even give you that it may be equal but not faster.
