Ah well here we go. I'm grounded so pictures will be uploaded later this week.

The competitiors:

Nismo 350Z-s tune Aero
273hp 👎
1320kg
55,000cr 👍

Opera performance 350Z
345hp
1340kg 👎
70,000 cr

Nismo 350Z-Z tune
385hp 👍
1250kg 👍
150,000 cr 👎

The first test wil be done at test course. Where we will conduct three different tests at once. ASM and TCS were left on for this test. All cars had the X button mashed down immediately after the Start button was hit. (For fairness of course.)

1. 350Z-Z tune

0-60 4.516 👍
400m 12.765@117mph 👍
Top speed 189.87mph 👍

2. Opera performance 350Z

0-60 5.066
400m 13.316@109mph
Top speed 179.49mph

3. 350Z-S tune

0-60 5.333 👎
400m 13.901@103mph 👎
Top speed 169.00mph 👎


The clear winner of the above test was the 350Z-Z tune.
Now we move onto a B-spec lap at Apricot hill. Where we see who is the most agile and best all around lap car.All cars had ASM and TCS turned off racing on Sport soft tires.

1. Opera Performance 350Z
Lap time: 1:31:059 👍

2. Nismo 350Z-Z tune
Lap time: 1:33:173

3. Nismo 350Z-S tune
Lap time: 1:36:119 👎

What a surprise! The Z-tune was beaten by the heaviest competitior in the group! I geuss raw horsepower and featherlike weight arent everything.

So who is the real winner. The cheapest car(S-tune) was only 55,000 cr..which is 15,000 less than the Opera and 95,000 cr less than the Z-tune. The Z-tune is the fastest straightline of the bunch..but that Opera can smoke it on the track..there fore I would have to say that the Opera is the best. It is less than 1/2 the price of the Z-tune and outruns the Z-tune on the track. Tell me what you think.
 
I have to disagree. The Opera is probbly a better value, but it also looks horrible from the front. Besides, the Z-Tune sounds wonderful and has better results for the track I test cars on (Special Stage Route 5). It's too bad the S-Tune isn't really any faster than the normal 350Z. Paying 20,000+ more for it than a normal one doesn't seem to justify the fact that the only upgrades are a spoiler, special paint and some rims (which are the worst of the buyable NiSMO cars, in my opinion).
 
Amuse has a silver 350Z too, but it isn't in the game. With a lot of carbon fiber parts, 120kg was saved, and engine was tuned to about 350hp. Wheels are the Rays CE28Ns used on their S2000s in the game. Maybe you could try and build your own, and test it.

I've been planning to do it myself(got the car, wheels and wing), but I wasn't sure about the power and weight figures(just found them yesterday).
