350Z @ 306hp + G37 at 330 hp
350Z @ 306hp + G37 at 330 hp, is this a trend that the G will get more hp than the Z? Has Nissan decided to make the G37 superior in performance to the Z?

People have been pointing to another Z redesign in 08-09 so I suspect the G is just getting it slightly sooner.
But since it is a more expensive car, maybe they're trying to differentiate the 2 platforms a bit more. In 03 is was basically a backseat for $k more.

They're currently inventing a button where you can turn on and off how JDM you are. It will be replacing the TCS\VDC button under your steering wheel. We don't need no stinkin' horsepower.

That's a little harsh...
I see it as a good way to initially sway the "luxury cruiser/ on-the-fence/ do I want leather with a backseat?" type of guys who aren't really passionate about the "Z" brand.
If any of those factory developed VQ variants from Japan are any indication, I'm sure Nissan has something up their sleeves for the Z33's VQ powerplant.
