The 350z comes stock with 287hp, with a 3.5 litre V6 engine. NA though. The rb26 looks oh so phat in that car. Thanks for sharing those pics. I wouldn't even have thought about that. Its kind of an expensive body for that, but hey, if you got it flaunt it!!!!

Well IMO they took the easy way out...i mean the RB26 has been done, proven...so why not test new grounds with the new engine, what the point of the new car if your just using an old non "Z" engine? Top Secret have a 350Z turbo at almost 500rwhp on stock internals. Now to me, thats impressive! And what about the so called 350ZTT thats supposed to be coming out in a year or two with like 400hp!!!

Its nice to be able to do it, and its not an easy task by any means. Just think it'll be more impressive to see a 600hp VQ powered Z then a 600hp RB powered Z....but thats just my opinion!

Personally, I'd do the RB over the VQ any day... but that's just me. I have a VQ35DE in my Pathfinder with the 5spd which is said to put out 250hp (240 I think with the auto). I love my truck... but that motor is the Nissan whore. It's in the altima, maxima, G35, FX35, Monero, Pathfinder, and the 350Z. I had heard about that 350 w/ the RB from one of the guys that works with me at Bosch. He has a 300Z that is pushing around 380 at the wheels (not really relivant but cool). We both think it's a pretty cool car!

to me it doesn't. It looks to spacey. The enigne looks like a SOHC in my opinon in the 350 bay. I would i of like the orginal better with A. twin turbo setup B. single turbo setup or C. for those how are out of their mind all together twin or single turbo followed with a super charger.

well rbsileighty, did you see top secerts VQ35DE-TT GT-R35?? thats very impressive.

Yeah I've seen a few twins on the VQ35... it's cool... I'd just prefer a RB. We are all allowed to have our own opinion... granted if the money were available when the new TT 350 comes out... I wouldn't think twice about picking it up!
