I might have to put one of these in my garage.

[Ar878]

Looks hawt, minus the front bumper. Dunno why, but I don't like how it looks.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Needs some turn signals, vents, or just something in that front bumper. It looks......empty. Otherwise, it's nice.

[RED_DET]

The added length the front bumper adds over the stock definitely gives the side profile an edge over the stock 370z.

[spitalul2bad]

Those look like crappy brakes.

And 350hp from a 3.7 is still behind the Porches.

[aris_unlimited]

350hp, what is that like a 20hp boost over stock? They need to start adding more power for the Nismos...

[ldstang50]

The good:More powermore rpms

The bad:no torque to go along with the powerno adjustable front camber19s all the way around

If Nissan were serious about putting a car together for people to race, put in adjustable front/rear control arms. Give 18s instead of 19s, take out a lot of the amenities (rear wiper, power locks and windows, etc.)19s are too damn expensive to buy and extremely hard to come by.Come on Nissan, give us something to compete against the RX8s!!!!

At quick glance that looks like a baby GT2.

I agree with you. 19's are too big for a sports car, 19's are for GT cars. The engine is great, seems like more of a racing engine due to the less torque then hp. Its kinda like a Honda F22C on steroids. That being said, the engine does best with a lighter car and Nismo should have stepped it up a bit in this department. The rise in hp is cool but that would be MUCH better if they paired it with say a 100-150lb drop in weight. Now i know thats not too easy to get but this is the racing version of this car.

Well i'm done kinda nit-picking i'm still going to buy a 370Z, it definitely has potential as a race platform.

wow now that u said that its so true..........

i love it but i agree w/ one of the guys who said the nismo editions need more hp i mean if its gonna be considered a track ready car make it more track ready......hell throw a turbo in it stock lol that would be amazing

What do you mean? The Cayman does 265 with a 2.9-liter and the Cayman S does 320 with a 3.4-liter. The Cayman S is also a 60k car. The 370Z is also faster around the track then a Cayman S. Makes you wonder why the engine is in the back in the first place. I do agree that the Z needs better brakes. It should have get some Brembos

[Z32 TwinZ]

This is why i love my Z32TT. Because it comes stock fast!!

Why did Nissan get away from turbo z's

I was talking about the big boys, the 911s... Honestly, those are the ones who'll take you for a shmuck on a track for buying a Nissan rather than a souped-up VW Beetle. Even though it's not in the same price range, on a track (or even street), noone's asking about price.

These are performance / sports cars and not supercars. I'm not talking about Ferraris or Lambos or the Porsche Carrera GT. Just a 911. And the Porsche I had in mind, the GT3, makes 415-420 from a FLAT 6 cylinder 3.6 liter engine.

Porsche 911 GT3 - 3.6 flat 6 - 420hp.Nissan 370Z - 3.7 V6 - 330hp.

90 hp is a long ways away. And I'm not talking about the car's weight... which again isn't looking good on the Nissan front.

Finally: I know they are in different price ranges. I'm just talking about making an engine give out more than 100hp / liter.

[ZedHead]

The materials they use to reduce the rotating mass in their engines is insane. Nissan would not be able to keep the price so reasonable if they followed suit.

Hell I cant believe manufactures are able to get this kind of power out of a 6. Specially Porsche.

[Z32 TwinZ]

Turn the boost up to 15psi on a stock z32 TT and your making around 370-400HP.. lets just say about 128whp / liter

Its funny how old school kicks new schools a**

[Watermelonwarrior]

I would much rather have the Z naturally aspirated for a track car. The 350z should have been faster I agree.

The older Z32TT potentially puts out more HP than the Z33/Z34 only because it came with twins right out of the box. I'm sure the numbers would be higher on the later z33 if nissan chose to go factory F/I. I need not to comment on the even newer z34.

Porsches are capable of putting that much HP on a N/A engine because of the technology that is put into it. And yes, technology requires money, hence the pricetag. You really can't compare a gt3 even to a Nismo Z. Yes, the germans can pull out a lot more HP out of a smaller displacement engine, but comes at a price.

The only shmuck is the guy comparing the 120k Porsche to a 40k Nissan. And I bet you did get laughed at the Formula 1 track when you pulled up next to the big boys in your 350z. You cant even talk about weight when your the one driving a convertible.

[xjmxstac]

^+1 The cheapest Z will beat the cheapest porsche.

Who are you again..

"..it comes stock fast!!"

Until its thrown a corner or two.

[Z32 TwinZ]

Who are you again..

Im the old school, you must be the new school. sry ive alrdy left u in the dust, do i need to remind u...

Until its thrown a corner or two.

Mehbe.

[Watermelonwarrior]

Mehbe.

Its funny cause you talk like your twin turbo is sooo much faster then the 350Z. The 350z does 0-60 in 5.5 1/4 in 14.4,14.5300zx tt does 0-60 in 6 and 14.4That's out of Road and Track. And I can promise you I would leave you in the turn.

C'mon try again, i knows you can do better

The only real "oldschool" zee i know of would be an s30.Oldschool wouldnt include the Z generation where everyone still rocked the sherm perm.

bwahdiddlybwah. fear the wrath of soupmelon!

[spitalul2bad]

Whatever you say about my track experience and fact that I drive a convertible, my facts about engine power vs. displacement are still true. So, no go. Guess you weren't seeing what point I was making. It wasn't a straight up comparison, as I previously said. But in a 2010 NISMO branded 370Z I would've expected more power from a 3.7 V6.

So are we drag racing or track racing??

The 0-60 time is like what MEHBE a fender...

If we are drag racing, the z32 will win by a car or more. Turn up the boost to 14-15 psi and you wont have a chance (still on stock turbo's). Ive raced enough spoiled kids that think they drive a fast z33, and the outcome isn't what they expected. I also own one, and it doesn't give me what my z32 gives me.

Just accept the fact that my old 1991 z32 can beat a z33.

Ive never raced on a track before so i cant really plead a case for that. The z33 has a better suspension setup and would prob take turns better, but down the straight the z32 would catch up. (Im taking a guess)

The only real "oldschool" zee i know of would be an s30.

I would take an s30. I actually think they are badass cars

[xjmxstac]

A z32TT WILL beat a stock z33. But slap a comparable tt setup on a z33 and it will be a different story. Or, lose the tt setup on a z32 and go heads up with a stock z33.

Bottom line, if you were gonna compare the two generations, do it on level ground. Either both F/I or both N/A, then compare the numbers or, better yet, take it to the track.

Well s*** if we gunna be slapping things on then i might as well slap on some bigger turbos... Its not my fault they didn't put turbos on a z33..

Im talkin stock vs stock, and i do believe the z32 came stock with a vg30dett.

Agree. Lets not forget that the Z32 tt was a 40k car back in the day. While the Z33 can be had for under 30k.

They also had a N/A version (vg30de). What are the numbers on those?
