The 350z Nismo in Japan has 350hp and its a lot lighter.

Our US Nismo Z is just 305hp and heavier.

actually if you think about it...it's more of a testiment to the M3....it started out last in the grid and after some blocking from the IS-F it caught up and won....I haven't driven an E92 M3 but I think I won't be an E46 M3 fan much longer once I do

not surprised at all with the results. DK held back for some time in the M3 didnt really turn it on until he got passed the ISF. The M3 has tons of over steer out of corners just like my E46 did. Understeers in oversteers outs seems like nothing changed for the E92. The nismo is a track beast. the ISF is a boat. S2000 while still one of the greatest chassis of all time which is clear by the in car driver video of how little effort is needed to make the car seem so balanced it is way under powered. Its turning into the NSX.....

WoW I tried the Heel Toe method they were using and I think my foot is just too big... or our peddles are different...

Anyone have any input on the heel toe method or tips?

takes a lot of practice and the correct shoe helps. If you are not good with your technique you need a race shoe like a puma. if you are good you can do it in most shoes. Just take your time, pick up a pair of pumas. also you need to be in a really high rev range to get a true heel and toe down.
