Question When is the 350 going to get the 3.7 engine???????????

Tried a search and found nothing, sorry if this has been dicussed already. Back to the original question, why wouldn't they have put the 3.7 in the Z this year?

Maybe they want to wait for a major redesign before dropping in the new motor. The G series are already a new design, so it gets the new motor.

The G series is a new design, but it is not like they changed a lot. It seems more like a refresh to me.

Sure they will....I have a gut feeling they'll slap the 3.8L GT-R engine(minus turbos of course) in the 2009 redesign and call it a 380Z. That rolls off the tongue much better than 370Z... Keep in mind that my gut also has a tendency to give me false info

i agree...370Z sounds dumb IMO. But wow a 380Z?? THAT sounds like a winner. Cant wait for that to happen IF it happens. And yeah they cant leave their Z lineup with smaller/slower engines than the G's. Even tho i have lots of love for my future car. lol

Look at the Z history. How often does the Z get a bump in displacement?

I think the New body Z will get the new engine, and 08 will stay the same

LOL could you imagine how the torque would be. And imagine what TT kits would put out with that displacement.

^^^I wasn't joking, i'm serious. Just bump the compression up to 11:1 or so, all motor baby. Or we could do 8:1 and run 16lbs of boost...would need 345's out back from the factory...insurance would kill me though...if the car didn't first.
