I can't confirm the 5.1 on the '07 since the only formal test I ever saw was in C&D (but maybe MC has read other sources), and that one was cited above as a link, stating 5.2 for the '07.

In fact, if any hp gains were to be made off of the '07 (which has only 6 hp more than the '05 at 306hp), say, via exhaust or intake mods, etc, you're looking at possibly a sub 5-second 0-60 time (in the E46 M3 range?).
Not that 0-60 times are the totality of determining "success" or anything, but I'm just saying...

the 2007 Z has about 13 more HP than a 2006. Nissan switched to SAE ratings for 2007. so under the same ratings that rated the 2006 300HP it would have been about 313 for the 2007 Z
or to put it another way if the rev up 300HP motor came out in 2007 it would have been rated at 293 not 300. for example go look at the HP rating on the 2007 G35 coupe

i.e., when the Z was making 287hp by the convention at the time, the G35 coupe was making 280? And so when the Z got a 13hp bump to 300, the G35 got a commensurate bump to 293?

that was before the rev up
the 2006 G's had 298HP vs the Z's 300 so basically marketing. under the new ratings the 298/300 motor went to 293
only the automatics still had the non rev up motor
the original 287 motor i think would come out to be around 279-280HP

Anyway, OP, hope all this helps in any way (?).
