#2 of 14 and the point of this would be....??? by biancar Mar 25, 2007 (10:04 am)
I guess if you're a wanna-be weekend racer it would make sense. I have a 2005 Z roadster which I love. HP is 270 or 280, something like that. For my highway driving, I don't need more than that. With a convertible, I'm more likely to seek out the winding country roads anyway as much as possible, much more enjoyable than mind-numbing monotonous highway driving. Lots of folks who buy Z's DO like to race though, so I guess this car is designed to fill that niche. It wouldn't be for me, though.

Replying to: biancar (Mar 25, 2007 10:04 am) Speaking of horsepower,now that the InfinityG35 has a new engine with about 330 horsepower, I am wondering when this will go into the Z. This would bring it back up to the power of the Z in the 1990s Replies to this message: ron_m (Apr 05, 2007 6:56 pm) blov8r (Jul 01, 2007 3:47 pm) blov8r (Jul 02, 2007 6:08 am)

This would bring it back up to the power of the Z in the 1990s The 1990-1996 normally aspirated 300ZX produced 222 h.p., and the 300ZX Twin Turbo produced 300 h.p. stock. The 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo was voted 'Import Car Of The Year' by Motor Trend magazine when it first came out here in the U.S. Those cars were definitely ahead of their time. Ron M.

Consumer Reports says the 350Z weighs over 3600 pounds. Edmunds says 3339. 300 pound difference. What gives, who's right?

I ordered a Silver Alloy. I look forward to a full road test in some of the car mags. Replies to this message: james31278 (Jul 01, 2007 10:29 am)
#7 of 14 AC indicator lights by mjp1 Jun 16, 2007 (12:31 pm)
I'm loving my 2007 Z coupe (even more than the 2004 I traded for it). There's just one weird thing: the tiny indicator lights on the AC interior/exterior air intake and fan controls don't come on unless it's really hot out. Hot like 94 degrees or higher. (Welcome to Alabama in June.) Sounds like a connection to me, but it's really not bothersome enough to go back to the dealer with. 6500 miles. Any thoughts?

Replying to: mjp1 (Jun 16, 2007 12:31 pm) Have them take a look at it when you go in for the 7,000 mile service.

Replying to: jmark (Jun 06, 2007 10:12 am) When you ordered it did you see what other colors were available?

Replying to: orinda8 (Apr 01, 2007 3:00 pm) My guess is that the 330 hp powerplant that's in the new Infiniti G37 couple will NOT be made available in the Nissan simply to retain the "premier" status of the Infiniti line. The 3.5L powerplant in the Nissans isn't up to Infiniti's 3.5L horsepower standards so I'm inclined to think this will carry over to the Z-car as well.
