Nissan is the best producer of Japanese sports cars and I think they really poured some time into the development of this new Nismo Z. I think it would run a Cayman S down

Nismo breathed an extra 18 bhp into the 3.7-liter V-6, so now it pumps out 350 at 7400 rpm and 276 lb.-ft. of torque at 5200. With the added power, and no weight gain, the Nismo 370Z will be quicker than the stock car in a straight line. We expect 0 to 60 mph times of 4.5 seconds.
front spring rates have been dialed up 15 percent, and rear spring rates increased 10 percent. There are also fatter anti-roll bars at both ends. Overall, roll stiffness has been increased by 15 percent, says Nissan, and the front and rear damping factors have been increased by 40 percent and 140 percent respectively.

No he is right. The 370z NISMO does not handle as well as the 07-08. Look at the test results. Lower slalom times and G. I have also owned a 07 NISMO and selling it to get a Lexus, but I drove the 370z NISMO and it was soft, didn't handle as good, and even though mine had a few mods, it felt slower.
The 370z NISMO does not have near as much stiffing as the 350Z got. Like Steve Millen said at track day with Nissan out there, he drove both versions, he said he would own the 350z one over the 370z because it felt more like a track car.
Read the forums to find the real truth, not what just some article said and heard from Nissan.
Also the 370z is having blown rear diff issues, overheating even with oil coolers, and brake issues.

IIRC the Nismo 350Z had MANY additional frame welds that added to the stiffness and response over a normal 350Z, along with numerous differences in the suspension set-ups. Not sure if the Nismo 370Z received the same additional welds or not, if it has I've not read anything about it... I too, have read/heard a few different places suggesting that the Nismo 350Z is considered the best handling Z ever, to date.

They left it off the 370z NISMO. I think they did it to make it a bit more easier on the buyers so it's not so rough of a ride. It is rough and is one of the reasons after 2.5 years of owning it, I am done with it as my Sciatica can't take it anymore.

I don't really see a lot of other Japanese companies doing production sports cars at the moment. Just saying there isn't a lot to directly compair it with.
