I'm trying to justify saving more $ for an '07 with the HR engine versus an earlier model. I know the HR makes 306hp vs 287, but the non-rev ups make more torque at lower rpm. Is it worth it for me to save for an '07?

1) The HR doesn't have the oil consumption issues that the REV-UP is plagued with.
2) HR has more TQ and HP throughout the powerband which easily makes up the loss of TQ down low.
yes, HR is faster. 30whp faster on the average than a DE or Revup. get it and be faster. hell its faster than the better than the newer VQ37HR. how can you argue? save up for it and leave the 370z in the dust.

Don't forget, you're trying to compare a vehicle that was rated before the SAE horsepower certification standard took effect in 2007. A rating of 287 HP in 2003 would be closer to 270 horses by today's SAE standards. A SAE-certified 306 HP would have been something like to 320 horses prior to 2007. Therefore, you're looking at something closer to a 30+ horsepower gain from 2003 to 2007 with the HR engine.

Very important point that most miss.

knowing what I know now (pricing and no s/t or s/c for the HR )... i would've gotten an '03 w/ a blown motor... put a built engine in ( prob from IPP ) and then a power-lab kit on it and called it a day.....
But if your sticking to stock or na power... then go for an HR without question.....

Thanks for the replies. I'm on track for saving for a real good down payment on an '07 enthusiast or touring. Looking to buy next spring or summer. The wait is killing me.
VQ35HR versus VQ35DE. Isnt it about time we had this debate.
^^^... I do believe this is the first thread for this debate???
oh but wait.... i just went to this thing called "search" and typed in hr vs de and selected [search titles only] and about 27 threads popped up.. including this one who knew

Why not get a 370z by that time?

Sorry if this topic is beating a dead horse...I'm not looking for a in depth discussion on this vs that. Just looking for opinions on whether it's worth it for me to save for an '07.
Is the VQ35HR that much better than non-rev up?
