Where do you see TO THE REAR WHEELS AT????????

the 370Z's V6 would probably come in around 320-325 hp, a modest bump to the 306 hp delivered by the current 3.5-liter V6

What gets me is the fact of the new having alot more power than the new g37. I figure with a low average of 15% drive train loss the new z would be around 375hp crank hp and I doubt it would be that high...

I don't like the lower slant on the rear hatch. Honestly, I know everyones beef with the weight is the lost in performance, but personally, it's still a phenomenal car. Something lighter and smaller, and I'd say it'd be less safe and less unique. I don't know how much shorter it can get, before its a Miata.

See or hear? Did you even look at the vid before flying off the handle?

I have read in several reports that Nissan is shooting for 350-355hp at the crank on the next Z as well as lightening it by 1-200lbs from its current level by making slightly smaller....maybe an inch narrower, some lighter parts...who knows

But 350-355 from a 3.7L with VVEL doesnt sound like an outrageous claim....that should be around 300whp from the factory and if its even 100lbs lighter than current Z's it will be a 12 sec Z straight off the showroom

300rwhp should be pretty easy to achieve considering a g37 makes about 287rwhp, I'm sure nissan could squeeze an additional 13-15rwhp. I really hope that nissan can cut the weight down to 3,000lbs or so. IMHO in it's current form, it's really large for a 2 seater. It's not like we have exceptional storage space or anything like that to justify the large size/weight.

Give us a 350hp, 3,000lbs car for around 30K and they'll have a killer car.
