This thread is in place so those of you who have nothing to contribute to the "Official 2007 350Z" thread and the "2007 350Z Speculation" thread can stop cluttering them with **** like this:

something i just saw on the subaru site is the STI now is at 293hp ,this leads me to believe the 06 z would have been around that too with the new testing procedures.

With 306 HP and lower gearing 6800rpm peak HP 7500fuel cut this 07 z ugly hood or not is gonna be a beast and is gonna stomp pre07 z's in its wake and the z hater not liking the new hood will never see it

I made some comment about the hood on another thread

Remember all the threads about the bi-xenon headlights and how people hated the look. Well the bi-xenons are better, plain and simple. And I think it's a non-issue with most everyone now. People are against change and need time to adjust. With time, I see the hood being well received and people looking to retrofit their 03-06 Zs with the '07 hood.

Good overall observation, but I still stand by my original opinion that the 06 headlights are nasty. They may work better, but I do not plan to throw those things on my car just like this hideous hood.

LOL! I don't like the hood either. Talk about weird.

I didn't know what was up with 07s until I skimmed a few threads as I've not been so active on here anymore.

Question Should I wait for the 2008?

I head from a friend of mine who lives down the street from a guy who used to work for Nissan that the 2008 will have 325 horsepower.
