2003 Z:
Weight 3200lbs
Horsepower: 287HP
Power to Weight: 1 : 11.1
2007 Z:
Weight 3400lbs
Horsepower: 306HP
Power to Weight: 1 : 11.1
The only reason the 2007 Zs are faster are because of the 7700RPM redline, which allows the car to shift into a stronger powerband. The huge differences in power are probably exaggerated, imo. I'm not saying they aren't there, they just aren't as dramatic as some say.

The OP clearly stated what most would agree are facts. Some people here have some very very very thin skin and need to grow up. I dont care if you are 18 or 80. You should still act like a damn adult. There will always be something nicer and better than what you currently have. GET USED TO IT> dumbasssesssssss

And please don't tell me what your car weighs, I *know* what a 2007 Z weighs. And it does weigh 3400lbs. Like I said, I used official numbers from Nissan. There's a good reason why the 2003-04 Z have slightly flimsier interiors than your 2007 (or even my 2006).

Again, I proved you right. I didn't post here to refute anything you said. So keep your panties on.

lol Id say so. Im a former Mustang GT/Cobra Owner in which each one of my cars had far superior power, and my Cobra with a built suspension (IRS) out handled and out braked my 06' Z. Yet a ride in a buddy of mines 04' Z so impressed me, I got rid of my stang, and jumped on over to the Z side. Wow you have an 07', enjoy not being able to mod you ride, enjoy the oil burning which I have already heard about, next 3+ years in payments, etc. My Z is slow compared to what I am used to, but the style, power delivery, ability to go so many different routes to achieve high HP, style, handling, and now even FCKING AWD. I envy the guys who's Z's are paid off, they have more money to throw into their rides. Hats off to all you fckers that have your cars paid off, I hate you, lol.

I like my 03 and I like 07's. As long as people are buying Z's they'll keep making them so I don't care what year you have as long as people keep buying them.

Second thing interior... Man that center console storage compartment is designed so cheap, I moved it side to side it was loose and made riduclous sounds, I completely agree with Jermemy Clarksons review on it, all make sense now, Plus the side panels on the door, and that loose ashtray in the middle.
Thrid was the motor, it had no where near the pull of an 07, I mean I felt really bored redlining my gears compared to the 07.
Overal the difference is Huge, I mean really there is really big differance between the previous year.
I don't mean to bash down the 04, I'm just stating my opy, I'd say the same If i owned an 04 and test drove an 07
