I hope the new Z doesnt come with this piece of **** interior and rattles.

 

nice....thats what i been looking for the past year lol...well the Z =]

 

1 word.. lease. but then again you're not supposed to mod a leased car.

 

I wonder how much the new Z & G will weigh... what do you guys think? 3400 lbs realistically? Sadly the trend is more power, more weight, and the worst part = more $$$$.

 

One thing's for sure nissan to step it up to keep up....

 

u mean 07

 

the new g37 is suppose to weigh 3600lbs +...according to this thread https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259250

the current sedan and coupe weigh 3500-ish...so gaining a 100 or so lbs isn't THAT bad...especially considering the current VQ35HR is running solid 13's...i'm guessing a 100lbs gain...but with more hp and smooth powerband, we have a solid low 13 sec car with the G37?

 

Thats Very NICE I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THIS DOES AT THE TRACKS I HIT 13.9 AT THE TRACKS WITH MY 06 G35.............. I HOPE IT ROCKS THE 335i......AND THEIR WONT BE ANYMORE Z'S I HEARD ITS GOING TO BE THE SKYLINE,BUT IM NOT SO SURE ON THAT

 

You heard wrong

 

Yea you definitely heard wrong. 2009 new Z

 

Nice numbers I'm impressed, but not enough to trade my '06 in for one...

 

This 3.7 is keeping me up at night...I might just pull the trigger on the g37 if they dont relese any info on the z34 soon...common nissan!

 

just want for G37's to show up in junk yards. that engine is going to pull a premium a week before race wars!!!

 

Unless Nissan addresses the trq issue it will not "rock the 335i".

 

edit

I saw that Henry... shame on you

 

lol I just realized it sounded a little too harsh... especially for Mike

Well, back to the topic. I think its more of a weight issue than a torque issue. I would be certain that if the G37 weighed as much as the current, or atleast as much as the 335i, it would have the capability of doing as well, of not better than the 335i.

But, like I have always said, Nissan seems to be ignoring the weight issue. Especially considering the amount of enthusiasts in the G/Z community.

I expect the next "370Z" to be at 3500 if the growing trend continues. It's already at 3404 for some models, and seeing how the 03 base weighed in at 3198, it should be no surprice.

I don't think the G37 will keep up with the 335i in 1/4 mile. 335i has boat loads of trq that is hard to overcome... for some reason the boards lately have been biased against trq - I'll take trq any day of the week FTW!!!

I guess soon we shall see... I hear DaveO is getting one )G37) to test next week... he's thinking about a GTG to check out the car... Maybe we should find a 335i to race What better way to determine the trq vs HP debate...

 

didn't edmunds or one of those internet sites say the tested the G37 and it was just as good as the 335i coupe and possibly slightly better in the corners vs the 335?

 

It's going to be hard to debate the HP vs TQ in these two cars, since they work very differently in how they produce power & torque. It would be easy if it had one controlled variable (HP) and a independant variable (TQ). Plus, the weight issue.

Why don't you invite DaveO to Cal Speedway this 30th?
