there u go guys, if its a repost, sorry.

but theyre saying theyre aiming on litening the car (thank god) cuz they admitted it was heavier than its other competitors.

theyre claiming 320hp to the rear wheels.

 

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

 

very nice...me like

 

I want...

 

I believe this is a repost.

 

This story was posted 6-20-2007. There have been numerous discussion on the same topic since then.

 

Wow, I have never saw this before

 

In the video it says it is expected around 320whp... click and listen...

 

Yes, and it does say to the rear wheels, true or not, he does say it. Listen again.

 

i want a 380 z it just sounds better! and it will mean more hP

 

Yup. I heard it too. But then again, I hear a lot of things...damn voices in my head...

 

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...

zand02max, i don't see it, but i do hear it.

 

I DONT THINK I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE...i applaud you for being the first to post this

 

I love that denim black or matte black color.

 

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

 

Very nice!!!

 

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.
