Default VQ35DE v. VQ35HR

I am going to buy a 350Z and wanted to know which engine has more performance parts available? What are the benefits of each? Will I be able to reach 600-700hp with the proper mods with either engine? If so, how should I tackle doing so, where should I start first?

Look at all the different trims between 03-05, 06, and 07-08 and compare the trims. the DE has more parts available and cheaper ( i believe). 600-700 hp is something thats going to cost ALOT one way or the other.

Both are awesome! The 06 uprev is kind of a median between the two.

Buy a Corvette, Mustang, Camaro, or Viper if you want big power. You will save a lot of time and hassle. I love my 350z but only because I realize its not crazy fast.

Whichever you can more stickers on. Each sticker is worth more than 50 WHP
