Wow! On highway this old Nissan was still very peppy thanks to its 5 speed auto. The engine rpm was always around 3000 rpm.
If my current GSF wants to be faster than that old Nissan it has to be on Sport+ mode (not Sport mode) Of course, if I force my GSF to downshift to a much lower gear, my GSF will become much faster!!! (305hp vs 467hp)

These Japanese cars will keep faster and faster... I will try to test it again next spring. My guess is it could run in 5.7x or maybe even better 5.6x!!!
Let's wait and see...

Like I said everything has pros and cons. To get that level of performance, I also have to sacrifice some ride comfort...
Auto industry becomes mature and mature... So the advantage becomes minimal now!!! Only those cars lasting longer or more solid built will win...

My wife said this M was unstable and difficult to drive.... After I rented 2018 M4 competition, 2018 MX-5 and currently own 2017 GSF, I think this M is not bad at all!!! (Actually it's quite good!!!)
You're right. It has some body rolls... but, MX-5 also had some body rolls. Actually having some body rolls is not a bad thing because you can tell what the current G force is by those body rolls.
You're right. M35X's suspension is softer... but, MX-5's suspension is not stiff, either. GSF(stock) and M4 competition suspensions are not very stiff. M35X's response is slower but you just need to give it a little more time, it will still make turns BEAUTIFULLY!!!

I admit GSF's steering is much better for long trips since you will not feel tired thanks to much more direct and accurate steering.
However, for less then 1 hour trips or daily commute, I think M35X's steering is still totally OK...
