I'm sure that buldge is there for a good reason.

Space for a stock plenum that is taller for better air. I believe this car is underrated at 306hp. There should be alot of internal modifcations on the engine.

Have you guys seen the dynos of a 2006 S2000 verus a 2002? They're both rated at 240hp but the newer S2K lays more power down on the dyno. Also the 2006 WRX 2.5 liter rated at 230hp lays down significantly more power than the 2004 WRX at 2.0 liters 227hp.

We'll see when it comes out!

Yeah it probably underated but still i kind of doubt it'll hit the numbers people expected. Alot of people were thinking 330 and I kind of doubt it'd be that much underated and definitely not 350. I don't know.

Don't forget that the Grand Touring Coupe shared those same wheels.

hey man if u can go back to the car show can u ask if you can take pictures under the hood? because i would really like to see what this VQ35HR looks like under the hood of a new 350Z. And can you ask what is the new redline and if there are any differences in the interior.

Thanks,
Nareg

03-05 Track Rays look better than the 35th anni. style 06 wheels. Those will be much more unique. But I dont think they will drop the Track model since its a popular one right under enthu.

So does bluetooth mean the NAV will be voice activated? Prob has nothing to do with the NAV but we can hope for voice and touch screen activation!

That hood looks like a bucket of yuck. No flow to it at all. It's all smooth and then BLAM there's a big goofy plateau in the middle of it.

My rating =

'06 track and '06 grand touring have different wheels than the 35th anniversary.

Remember this will be the first year that Nissan uses the new sae ratings, 306 is probably closer to 315-320 under the old guidelines, so it is a good improvement.

I like the better as well, I just wish the '03 shared the same widths of the '06 wheels.

Have to disagree with you there buddy. The rims on older Z models make me bleed out the eyes . That or wanna buy some Legos. Those POS 17" rims should never be left on a Z.

-1 to the 07 hood.

Looks like a hole needs to be cut on the top of that hood and a blower should be mounted there... at the least, a air catcher, lol/
