1. Chrome wheels suck, as has been said.
2. Z emblem in AC ducts is nothing new, also what has been said.
3. They really should have waited to debut this new engine with a body redesign. Although the power improvement is nice, from the description, I can do the MREV-2 mod and get my missing low-end torque back and be similar. Otherwise, like if they said the new rating is 293, thats a gain of 13 hp and a little bit of torque. No reason for me to trade up if its just the engine.

Well I was at a stealership last friday getting my Z checked out for Oil consumption issues and I happend to find their secret stash of 07 Z's.
So I managed to get into one of them, I cranked the car up and it was
to say the least a bit softer sounding then my current 06. I didn't bother driving it as there is little difference in power gains from my 06, not to mention its been modified a bit already 2 so I didnt see the point in driving it
or for that matter even consider buying one. I think the 07 is over hyped, the initial review written is good but ummmm if you had driven the 06 then the 07 I doubt you would have noticed much a difference.

The reason it's hyped is because of it's "new" factor e.g. 80% revised engine, 7.5k rpm... The thing to look out for is how well it will respond to mods. We might see 300rwhp NA Zs with basic bolt ons

Considering it comes with equal/full-length headers (forget which) and true-dual exhaust standard, good luck with that!

Nismo 350z

Well lets see the 07 buyer dyno this thing and see what whp number they are putting down. I mean the non revups were in the 240whp range and the rev-ups are in the 250 range. This thing should be 260whp+. Add in dual intake, pulleys, test pipes and a more free flowing exhaust and a tune and that should get 300whp. Plus we have to see what motordyne, crawford and all the others come up with with the new HR. We just have to wait and see. But for looks wise alone there is no way im gonna trade my 04 for it. Do u guys think the current hood will be able to clear the engine bay?

feeling the 07 hood

big bump on the hood because STILLEN is going to manufacture a "350z stillen" limited with a supercharger, just like the 95 300zx TT Stillen limited production.

Where the hell did you hear that? lol

It doesn't have true dual exhaust... from what people who have looked underneath claim, it's the same old exhaust except the headers.

That would be cool! Atleast their walking forward instead of backwards.

evolved326

I don tthink so. If open the hood, you will se that it barely fits the engine and strut bar.

SargentZ

It does have true dual, at least their version of it. Those that know what to look for and have looked have responded numerous times on this site. Still waiting on pix though or one to show up at my dealer to verify myself.

this is exacltly my conclusion aswell.

dc89kr

then why would the non-stillen 350z's have to suffer the "ugly" hood for this? why wouldn't they just put this hood on to the 350z stillen they will make later on and keep the old hood for the regular 07's?
it's obvious that this hood was to fit the HR.

All of the minor upgrades and improvements shown in those '07 shots work for me.

(as said before, except for those chrome wheels)

I own a 2004.5 model. The 06 model wasn't worth the upgrade nor is the 2007 model for me. I might change my mind when there is a drastic improvement of torque/hp as in 20% more or so. Lately a lot of cars have come out with improved engines, which all have a bigger gain in torque/hp than the 07 Z has. I think Nissan underestimated the importance of increasing the numbers. Ok, it might run smoother and have more torque along the whole rpm line, but it won't do. Especially if you take the fact that they don't really want to change the engine significantly in the next 5 years. I reckon they will change it slightly in the future, as they did to the 06 revup engine.
However, as I said before, I don't think it will be enough with the ongoing war of having more hp/torque and higher mpg that other manufacturers have started.

well the Z wasnt suppose to have muscle car numbers its on par with the current boxer series porshes which was always there goal. The rest of the conmpetetion really are not what there aiming for.

Your focusing on the wrong areas... peak numbers might not be up, but from what I gather the area under the curve (which is more important anyway) is probably up close to 15-20%. In the hands of a good drivers, this new Z might be capable of low 13's stock.
