From the actually numbers I've seen it is not as much of a difference as you would think.

2-300 lbs isn't small. And name me one new car that's 3100lbs with 300hp and luggage capacity? I agree new cars are too heavy, but such is life.

This is actually saying a lot... the 07z must be nice It seems to be a lightweight too (3230 ), according to another guys recent post.

I like my 04z and haven't driven an 07(yet), but right off, I know I would like the 7k+ redline! Especially with my 3.9FD setup. The only think I don't like, the cheezy slide lid on the compartment and the raised silver accent around the stick boot, not well integrated imho.

I've been waiting to rip into an 07 off the line, but haven't gotten the chance yet. It will happen, hopefully the guys a good driver

Looks like this thread only has a few hours before it expires, thankfully.

The whole post was about how far nissan went from 05 to 07, thats 3 year differance and changes are greatly improved, its just nissan should of done alot of these things earlier. But i guess you can't get it right at first

Not from new there wasn't.

If anything is from apples to oranges that comparison is.

Wow, everyones panties get in such a twist at the mention that the '07 might be better. Duh, it IS.
The engine alone answers that. I don't mod, but for those who do, you should know the value of the new layout.
Let it rest - with each successor, they all improve, from the M3 to the Z. This isn't a news flash

What's bad is someone really had to start a thread about how surprised they were. There must be rocket science involved in keeping the improvements a secret or maybe voodoo.

the thread was prob started because all the non 07 owners keep saying the older ones pull harder because they are lighter. . . because they have nothing better to do apparently then to realize the truth.
Look where this thread went. Straight to where the others have.
