Question 2007 350z

Interesting. I hear its a new upgraded engine either 315 or 325 guess it'll be more than a drivers race soon

My friend was kinda dissapointed when he found this out. I think he said it would be 305hp, with a return to the original TQ #, but I don't know what that was.

But up to 325, sounds good. I think they are raising the redline up a bit too. I'm sure the VQ is good for a lot more NA too.

nonetheless, nissan needs to work on cutting some weight from the Z. the Z is just too damned heavy for a car its size.

Yeh no doubt. If the new sedan is getting 308 and coupe probably a little higher, 350z should be same as coupe or higher.

I agree 100%.


It's really pathetic.

Same thing happened with the NSX. Honda knows not a lot of cars have the same feel as the S2K so they just sit there....


I mean would it really kill them financially to add about 20HP to the S2K?

I know it's just a 2 or 2.2l engine, but come on......

In 7 years they couldn't find a way to add 20 friggin HP? How about 10HP?

I love the car but it is starting to get slow for a 2007 sports car.
