Just picked up DSPORT issue #94 where they ran a few cars on Willow Springs Raceway. I was kind of disappointed not to see any Mustangs or Camaros. It seems there has been a constant dispute over if the Nismo is worth the money as compared to the Sport 370z. Dsport put the 2011 Nismo and 2011 370z Sport on a DynoJet with surprising result. The Nismo achieved 313.9 whp @7200rpm and 256.5 lb-ft @ 4500rpm with a measured weight of 3376 lbs giving it a pwr/wgt of 109.4 hp/1000lbs. The 370z Sport managed 297.8whp @7300rpm and 246.5 lb-ft @ 4600rpm with a measured weight of 3352 lbs giving it a pwr/wgt of 104.5 hp/1000lbs. I would luv to see those results on my 370 at the dyno. I will let u guys add 15% to find out flywheel hp. At the drag strip the Nismo put down a 60' time of 2.192 seconds and 13.738 @ 102.2 mph. 370z Sport a 60' time of 2.445 seconds and 14.206 @ 103.84 mph. On the track I believe we can all expect the results. The Nismo finished in 1:28.661, with the 370 Sport took 1:26.193. WOW a 1.5 second difference. How is that possible? For $8k you should get more than a bodykit. What are you guys more interested in 1/4 mile or lap times? With all of the magazines accumulated results should the 370z Sport be considered a better sports car than the Nismo 370z? As far as the dyno results most cars made more whp than advertised. Only a few made less than expected.
