you don't know until you have an HR, id hate to ride or own a DE hehe.

 

thats a little harsh nothing wrong with the de i love mine

 

Ride in both blindfolded you and you'd never know the difference

 

Until you hit the throttle.


I kid i kid...

 

Yeah my DE sucks

 

they sound different, i have ears of an elephant! saaaaay somethiiin

 

I wish I could have kept my modified DE, along with my HR.

 

i was a previous owner of a modded 2003 6mt 350z that ran mid to low 13s constantly and i recently purchased a 2007 AT roadster with the hr. Hands down the hr is better.. It is way smoother, revs faster and keeps pulling till redline. The roadster feels just as fast to me as my old 350z and it is an automatic AND a heavier roadster. just my 2 cents.

 

*stunk

 

I test drove an 07 earlier last year and I was not impressed. It just felt like a newer Z. Im thinking most the current DE owners are so used to the power/tq range that it won't be noticeable by the "butt dyno".

 

ill race your 07 lol

 

The average Z driver shouldnt notice a difference along most of the powerband until about 6K. Only then did know I was driving an HR. Like the OP said it definitely pulls hard up top. The 03-05 felt as "torquey" if not more from 3K to 5.8K. Which of course it is.

 

i'm thinking of buying a Z but i will wait for there new model
