on my trip to fl, i had full trunk with suitcases. on the second run i wasn't racing, he starte to go and by the time i was in MY rpm range i caught up to him. watch my vids vs bmw m6. ms3 been sold, i'm a happy owner of 09 STI :) just some insight, at the time of sale my ms3 was faster than my STI stg1. ms3 was very fast at high speeds (120+). Now STI is stg 2, and I think at this point it is faster... but then again, not sure about after 120...

FULL NISSAN 370Z @ INSIDELINE.COM: www.edmunds.com It's called "The Fastest Road in the West" for a reason. Willow Springs International Raceway is known for its staggeringly high lap speeds, and it defines itself with one of the gnarliest, high-speed corner combinations anywhere in the world: a long decreasing-radius bend from Turn 8 to Turn 9. And so in an effort to preserve the world's population of auto scribes like us, Nissan has created a makeshift chicane to successfully emasculate these corners during our test of the 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z. Smart move. Fortunately there are ample opportunities elsewhere on this track to explore the car's increased performance over the standard 2009 Nissan 370Z. Namely Turn 6, which apexes at a blind crest and is followed on the downhill side by a huge midcorner bump that makes the standard Z-car wallow like a Buick LeSabre over a Wyoming frost heave. It's here that the Nismo Z sells itself. In the Sport Z-car we're afraid. Afraid of physics. Afraid that the track will toss us — like a Buick — into the unforgiving desert. But after a few laps in the Nismo Z, we're confident. And we're faster. We keep our right foot planted all the way over the Turn 6 crest and across the bump, gaining enough speed that a few hundred yards down the track we ingloriously annihilate most of the orange cones that Nissan deployed to keep us alive. Nice.
