Edmunds had a test but the NISMO only had 1000 miles on it (not broken in) and they were pulling something like a .91 on the skidpad. There was something seriously wrong with that particular car that day. Physics just says it ain't so given the specs on the car. It weighs something like 60 lbs more but has 18 more HP. That more than makes up the difference yet they had the NISMO as slower. I suspect the tires. If it isn't hooking up or gripping, you will loose a bit on acceleration and a lot on skidpad.
