Now that the 2007 has been out for a little while, does anyone know if it is faster than the 2006 and if so, how much faster? Thinking of a Z some time this year and curious about the comparison.

 

No comparisons yet.

 

Have you not seen the dynos?

 

I have not seen the dyno's. They would have to be done on the same dyno the same day for it to be a good comparison, has that been done?

 

forget the dynos ive seen the dynos but i want to see a video taped run. Dyno's are great and all for testing purposes but its not real world conditions i want to see the real deal.

 

911 nut your quick man youve posted on every thread i have but you beat me to it lol.

 

Yes. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/245890-2007-vq-hr-dyno-results.html

 

well never really know how fast there are as far as a comparison unless we actually race one lol.

 

Thanks, did not find that in my search.

 

The problem you'll have with this scenario, just as the dyno's, is that the driver will make every difference in this case. You still cannot perfectly duplicate results this way. The controlled condition dyno's will measure power the best. Based on weight and HP, and gears and transmission, you can estimate with the same matched calculations what each car would do under perfect cirumstances, with VERY LITTLE margin of error.

Otherwise - it's either a racers or dyno's edge.

I wanna see these two race already.

The abilities of the drivers are a given. It should be understood that in any race the driver makes the biggest difference. Driver input is irrelevant in a fair comparison, because it's assumed the cars are being pushed to their maximum capabilities.

To make this simple, yes the 2007's are faster. How much faster exactly? Who knows?

 

Poop or get off the pot.

 

I don't expect it's faster that much. but time will tell.

 

the 07s have that extra 6hp but the weight is also a few hundred pounds heavier then the 06, so i wouldnt bet on it beeing much faster, i've test driven the 07 enthu. and compared to my 06 it sounds meaner due to the dual intake, but no noticeable difference, if anything my 06 is quicker....

 

and i also forgot to add, even with the dual intakes, it really doesnt pull much more air then the 06 because of the tubing diameter.. so if u ask me.. it is just gonna cost more for dual pop chargers or intakes to pull the same if not less then the single intake on the 06s

 

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=245890 Does not look like 6hp ...oh by the way the 06's "300hp" was under the old SAE testing rules the "306" of the new Z's is under the new tougher standards.

I will wait to drive one or race one on the strip to make up my mind as to how much faster it will be..

 

Anyone have a weight figure on the 07?

 

07 Coupe curb weight is around 3,400 lbs.
