Thank you Tony, I have been checking everyday for a dyno. I knew someone would throw one up sooner or later. Looks to me as if the new HR is going to kick some ***.

The nissan dealer told me today there would be a 3.8 liter going in the Z. The 380z and it would come out around the GTR. Usually I never believe them, but everything else they said was solid, and they said it wasn't speculation.
Interesting. Hard to see how they would have a 3.5 3.7 and 3.8 unless it's just 3.8 na and 3.7 TT
Seems as if the G will get the 3.7 in 09
Lots 'round the corner.

But the dynos have been cross calibrated to eachother so the same vehicle will produce the same results on each dyno.
Not the same day and all that stuff but its still a good comparison.

You all know how dealers are with their own product knowledge. Not reliable. They probably heard somewhere about the 380RS and are confusing that with the next-gen Z.

Sort of makes me feel hopeless that all the bolt ons in the world on a revup might not be enough compared to the HR.
