So how would both cars compare now?
Good question.
I just don't see how an 8 extra inches help the car.
Don't really care about 20 NISMO MONIKERS.
And that extra .01G comes from wider tired only judging by mod specs!
The 18hp is good but wat does it translate in rwhp.
7400rpm reflash is ok but how is it aiding in better track times?
See the NISMO is not quite stock. Its facory mod. Which is a middle ground.
It can be challeged by mildly modded vehicles as well as stock.
The nismo has alotta cool stuff but just doesn't seem to be projecting superiority over the sport package.
What NISMO COULDA USED.
Stiffened chassis
More weight reduction. Should be 50lbs lighter not 80 heavier.
Headers shoulda been in the package

Truth is. Nismo doesn't have a competitor at 35 to 45k
So it gets its respect in the general auto market.
BUT IN HOUSE. Z AGAINST Z.
It doesn't prove itself a worthy contender at 6 to 7 more grand.
I DO BELIEVE BY 2011 OR 2012 IT WILL BE. WHAT IT SHOULD BE NOW THOUGH!
I have faith in Nissan to improve its flaws. They always do though its never as fast as we like it 2 b. Lol
I think the 370z is better than the 350. But I think the 350 NISMO WAS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS TRACK CAR.
