all this talk.........
when I was stock, the older Z's would smoke me off a line.
if you have a revup engine, get the mrev kit and spacer, and you'll be on top of your game again.
as far as a G37 smokin' me.......please. those things are huge and heavy.
they make look nice, but nothing looks as good as it should when it's in my rear view mirror

ok well i just got my z a few weeks ago...all this talk of everyone beating the **** out of their z's...is it fair for me to assume that the vq35 can endure ungodly amounts of abuse before something horrible happens? can the same be said about the transmissions as well? just wanna know how i should be driving my new car...

Theres a few at beaverun that ride rev limiter month in and month out....

I'd say yeah they can take abuse at stock power levels...

My transmission makes a lot of noise But i'm told thats normal. Just don't miss gears or launch your car with drag slicks (and 500whp) and you should be ok on the transmission part

Mine takes lots of hard driving on the track. (I wouldn't call it abuse)

But I did break it in, by the book.
