Now the you mention 350hp to the wheels, i have a question.
Why is it the when ever you looking the review for the 350z it says that is 287hp however you put it on a dyno and all it show is 225-221 around there??
because nissan like everyone advertises crank hp, but it takes hp to run accessories like the power steering, and to turn the trans, driveshaft and differential, so you end up with more like 240 at the wheel, and some dyno's read higher than others, dynapak's tend to read higher than mustang, the idea is the have all comparative dyno's done on the same dyno, and automatic's taek more power to run, the trque convertor is heavier than a clutch and you have to power the trans pump
