Tuned for 300hp you mean? gaining 13 horse yet losing 14 torque. Don't start thinking it is magically more powerful. I wouldn't get excited about the "300 horsepower" for function but if you like the label then sure. They might sell a sticker to put on the side too, "300 HP intense model" :P

The hp is gained up top where the Z shines anyway. I have driven both and I like the rev-up engine. People claim it also responds to mods better.

Guys, do a search, this has been discussed a LOT already…
Bugsbbunny, you might not feel the difference with the engine. You will feel the difference with the brakes between the Enthuz and the Track a lot more!

I have driven both, and studied the internals of both, and the rev-up engine is definitely ahead of the curve in engineering, and a much more fun vehicle to drive.
As others have posted, this engine responds very well to modifications, and has slightly stronger internals for FI.

On paper, it may not be much, but a smoother engine that pulls better on top makes a big difference. Also, the higher redline which again may not seem like much, plays dividends during those aggressive canyon runs and track days.
People who claim that it's all hype either have either not driven the 300bhp engine or have just gone on a short test drive. I've had the chance to own both and the difference is clear. If all you're interested is 0-60 and 1/4 mile, then it might not make a difference, but if you're after a better driving car, then the new engine is the way to go.

And yes, only Track and AE models had them in 05. Starting 06, every Z has the 300hp rev-up engine.

i have an 06', has anyone actually seen an 06' and an 03-04 "Track model" (fastest) go at it? or are you just assuming according to what you read/heard? IMO, it would be VERY close in the 1/4.. but after say middle of third i think the 06' would pull.. any opinions, this is just my estimate... im human my opinion could be flawed ![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I would think that the 05 Track Model is the quickest/fastest due to the variable cam timing, higher redline, and ~200lbs lighter than the 06's.
