Smile 2007 Z Car

I know it's early, but I will soon have to '*/xx**' or get off the pot with a healthy deposit on the new Shelby GT500.

I have an 03 Touring model which I dearly love, but the time has come when even SUV's are running well over 300 horsepower.

Nobody seems to have any clue as to what we can expect from Nissan. the Z is would still be my choice, if it came out with a power boost.

Any clues??

Is hp the only thing that matters? Can not see spending 40K plus for a Ford just because of hp.

not much. They just change in 06. Expect the same for 07 and maybe even 08 before any other major change.

yeah i guess it sucks when the suv has the same hp......... dude look at a lotus elise, last i checked they only had 190hp but they would whoop the **** out of a 300hp suv, what i'm trying to say is its not all about the #'s, it should be about the all around pkg you get for your $

I know I guy who lives down the street next to a guy who used to work for Nissan. And his brother-in-law says it will be a 450 horsepower twin turbo. Trust me on this one.

And SUV's also weigh over 1000 lbs more for the most part... so what if they have 300hp.

nothing wrong with a little turbo to ease your pain. i don't see any validity in complaining about 4 - 5,000lbs suvs having 14 more hp.

I read in a Japanese mag about the new Z that will debut next year in Japan and should be stateside in the middle of 2008. The car will have a 3.7 liter N/A 330-350hp VQ. It will be aimed at the porsche cayman. the next car will be substantialy lighter than our current Z. I have the artist rendition and it looks hot. I will try to post soon
