You are asking if the car with the more horsepower is faster than the previous model with less horsepower? Probably not.

Take a look at the best efforts for each car after the track scene... that is a better indication of the improvements. If I'm not mistaken the rev-up engine was 2-3 tenthsfaster which makes perfect sense (additional horses and redline).

Depends on the model 350Z. My '06 base 350Z came in at 3217 on the corner scales with half a tank of fuel, spare tire, and jack all in the car.
