I saw the Nismo Z at the auto show and the sad thing is that I don't think it has any real performance enhancements... No power, no weight loss...

80% New VQ35HR, 306hp 268ft. lbs. torque, 7,500 redline, Twin throttle bodies, Bridgestone RE-01Rs, aero system that reduces lift, spot welded chassis by Autech, Yamaha mass dampers, Stiffer spring rates ... but who cares the rear bumper is ugly right...:rolleyes:

The back bumper is indeed ugly, but honestly, if I was driving it, I would not have to look at it...

If this thing wasn't pushing $40k in price, I'd honestly take a long, hard look at it. Considering some of the competition in the track car area, I'm not completly sold. Especially if you consider that if roll-your-own, it will probably cost less and not incur the "exclusivity" tax.

Though a :thumbup: to Nissan. Very nice effort...

If I'm not mistaken, that engine is already in all new 350Zs, and also in the G35.

only thing worse was Mercedes whoring out 1 single 5.5 liter block into 8 different AMG model's... naturally the F/I ones got stronger internals... but the block was the same...

The front isn't bad, but the rear is hideous!!!
