In addition to the coils are the front and rear body dampers. As well as the addition of positive downforce as apposed to negative in non-sport, and neutral in sport configuration. I had almost 23K miles on my first 370 (suspensions are the same on sport and non-sport 370Zs only the wheels, tires(both of the former i have addressed), brakes, and differential differ. Say what you will about the Nismo, but I'll bet my bottom dollar that in the hands of an unbiased professional driver (read as "the stig") the Nismo will be measurably faster than both the base and sport 370Z.

Well, we kno edmunds sucks... but C&D hav some serious drivers. They always pull the highest times than the rest of the mags. They pulled 5.2 n 13.5 in a 1500 mile car.
They expecting after a few months of break in. Maybe 4.8 13.3
Which is still .02 seconds slower than 7at spt pkg. I mean no big deal of difference but...
The extra stuff does give a handling advantage in the nismo. More downforce, etc... but the nismo also adds like 67lbs in junk n the 18hp doesn't even give it any edge.
Don't get me wrong. I'm sure it has some impressive attributes. But for 6k I can make it a 1.02 g handler myself which would be .03 more than nismo n remove 80 lbs more n see me doin it 4.3/12.7
