I've read articles, searched the forum, and this is what I understand....

1. There's NO (as in Zero) difference between 07 & 08 350Z

2. The 2009 Z will basically the same car as the 07/08 but will be renamed the 370Z due to its 330hp 3.7L V6 (from the G37).

3. In 2011 we may see the next gen Z car.

Do I have this right, at least as we know it today? Will there be any (confirmed) changes to the 09 besides the larger V6?

Thanks for helping me understand.

The car will see no changes till 2011 when the new bodystyle comes out. There will not be a 370Z in 2009 like everyone wishes to believe.

Nissan has delayed that till the new body.

 

so for the next couple years the Z is going to be slower than the G?

 

It isn't slower, the Z is still faster due to weight. They both dyno the same still as well.

Nissan does not want the Z to have a change when the new GTR, and many other new cars are coming out which will take away sales. They announced this recently.

 

Yes, that's right. The VQ35HR is a new motor, don't forget. It's got more horsepower and torque than the previous VQ35DE because of its dual intakes, as well as other minor revamps. The Z and the G are evenly matched.

 

Damn. No '09s? That is fugged. It'd be cool if they did and just put the NISMO front bumper on it.

 

How is that?

 

07 dynoed anywhere from 260-265whp stock.
G37 dynoed between 278-280whp stock.

 

yes but my base 07 is 3220 on my race scales and the new gs are like 3700 pounds

 

No sir. 07 350Z and G37 are dynoing in the same range. Go look at all the most recently dynos and you will see.

 

07 350Z dyno stock.

Damn impressive numbers for 07s

 

iv a revamp isnt coming till 2011 it better have more than 330hp...all the new sportscars coming out are powerhouses over the next 4 years..v-8 m3, srt-8 challenger...the new camaro...im sure there is gonna be more

 

Thanks Guys, Good Info.

 

That nismo front bumper is so $%*&*$# bada$$.

 

The 350Z in my driveway is more fun than the 350Z that Nissan is gonna make.

 

Solo that 350z wasn't stock. He has the fast intentions and aem intake but I do agree with you its so close I still think the '07 Z has an advantage because the weight difference. My '07 put down 269hp and 238tq stock.

 

just the NISMO front bumper but stock rear and sides?....don't know how good that'll look
