Does anyone know what they did to the 35th anniversary edition Z to make it redline higher? New cams or more then that?

 

 

mind posting the link in here? I tried searching under anniversary, 35th, red line, etc.. and nothing came up.. thanks

 

Yeah I tried as well, the search button is a PITA and doesnt produce proper results, hang on.

Basically the ECU was changed and different cams. Redline is at 7000 RPM

 

engine also has different rods and rod bolts - that's key for reving to 7200

 

Sentry, you getting a Lotus or what?

 

The new redline is 7000. not 7200. They changed a lot of parts out on the new engine. New ECU, cams, CVT on exhaust cam, internals, etc.

 

New redline but I read in Road N Track that it bumps up the hp to 300 but doesnt turn any faster 1/4 time.

 

It's a Track model, not a Drag model...

 

dont believe what they write..they rated the z @ 14.1
kids on here run 13.5s all day popo z has a vid on here..
he ran a 13.7 w no lsd...base model..bone stock

 

so what is a stronger platform to start with the less tq more hp 05 track or the previous versions?

 

I backed out - I know, kinda sucks

I'm getting married and she's not able to work right now cause of health issues.

that and I'm thinking I'll probably end up wanting an exige or noble over the elise

so for now, that's freed up some money to use on my Z...

 

I know about how magazines dont mean much in the real world but I just dont see the extra money for 13hp to the crank

 

I'd be surprised if you found a single 35th or Track owner that bought the car solely because of the 13hp. I would have bought it, and paid the same $ for it if it had 287hp.There are plenty of other features that make it worth the extra few bucks. The Brembos, for example... The revised engine is icing on the cake...

 

Dont get me wrong, to each his own. Just not my thing hence the enth model. Brembos are nothing new though....

 

I was really looking forward to a write-up and pics. Now who am I supposed to live vicariously through? :P The only thing deterring me from trying to get one is that it's REALLY tiny. 90 inch wheelbase makes it look almost like a toy. Which I guess is it's primary use! haha.

Sorry I wont hijack anymore :P

 

the new Z is going to be faster, but not by much
