I'll settle this.

A Nismo 350z will likely be faster than a 370z stock, right?

Each time on the warmup mile, I let him pull ahead... the lead doesn't last long though.

That really makes no difference. Skill of the driver is unknown and it is probably stock where you are not. I have passed Z06 and GT3's at the track too...doesn't mean my car is faster.

It did have some suspension upgrades I thought..
But no bumps in power, they said the 370z should be able to outrun the nismo 350z

right on the money! the current z shouldnt be much to worry for the new X (stock for stock) its the new Z that might pose a threat but its true the fact that Zs r more expensive to modify! well who knows but then the Z is put Vs an X i really hope that X is a GSR and not a MR... just cause it cost more dont mean its any better!

It was the 1.7 CW. I did the 1.7 CCW over the summer. I think it's actually harder CCW than CW. You definitely go faster since you can haul butt through big bend.

lol my fronts are already brownbos. I'd like them to be black. I think it will look very nice

Jesus I just went and watched some of those vids. Looks like half the people were lost out there on the track. Did they have different run groups?
