Nissan transforms its daily-driver Z grand-tourer into a confident and capable track star.
. However, NISMO now claims to have taught this dance partner how to boogie at a track day. Is that plausible?set by previous headlines like,"NISMO Will Be Heaviest Z," and"No Manual Option for Z NISMO." We've reported the NISMO's 100 pounds of upgrades are offset by 20 additional horses and 34 more lb-ft of torque. That brings the totals to 420 hp and 384 lb-ft; it all adds up to a weight-to-power improvement of a whopping 3.2per horsepower.
We abandoned Sport mode for Sport+ mode before the second lap, because the transmission was already upshifting as improperly as the Performance model's Standard mode had . The logic in Sport+ mode was flawless, and the shifts were way quicker and purposefully hard in this mode .
NISMO stiffens everything in the suspension that flexes—dampers, springs, anti-roll bars, bushings, steering rack isolators—the works . This becomes clear within a few miles, even on roads that appear billiard-table smooth. This suspension has an uncanny knack for finding imperfections, magnifying them, and declaring their presence via interior trim buzzes. Those über-grippy tires also make an unholy racket on anything but brand-new blacktop.
