well, i think it looks really nice, except for the color, ughhh, but imagine that in blue...ya! as for speed, its very good, 3.5 liters. 260-280hp N/A!! the last Z's made their power from TT's. imagine this new Z with a big azz turbo strapped to it.... but i wouldnt buy one just yet, b/c theirs so many other cars about to come over....supposedly. the new se-r, new civic si, possibly wrx STi, lancer evolution, the skyline.(no not the fake ifiniti, the real skyline), and the new rx-8. now, we just need the FTO, GTO, supra, silvia, and the civic type-R to come over here and we'd be set!!! oh, and some cosworths too!

Well - They did increase displacement from 3.0l to 3.5l (16.7% increase) - which resulted in a ~17% hp increase - assuming it comes out at 260hp. Not really all that surprising.

Yes, with twin turbos on this new Z (single turbos are a bit harder to design on a V6) - I'd think we'd see 400hp... but I don't think Nissan is making a TT version of the new Z...

(The supra did come over here, btw).

I take it your into modifying cars, I have an 86 300zx and was wondering if you knew how much it would cost to drop a twin turbo motor in it from a z32 year? Oh and new tranny i f'd mine up pretty good racing it

I'm guessing you were asking me? Honestly - I don't know all that much about Z31's, but I think Steve Mitchell in SoCal has a monster Z31. It'll cost a LOT to drop a Z32 engine in there. Assuming you can get a refurb'd ATK VG30DETT for ~3K (no turbos, BTW!), add turbos ($3K or so), labor, etc (~$6-10K) - and you're probably better off buying a used Z32TT -- for ~$10-18K.

i was referring to getting the new, supposedly being made, mkv supra, in 2003.

NO, i want a sleeper, everyone knows z32 is a fkn insanely fast car especially with TT, but no one thinks a 15 year old car can move....so imagine a 300+ hp pos looking car that can take out m3s and such =)

[KikoSanchez182]

thats why u get a 1g dsm! hehe

Well the VQ30DE hsa been turboed using the turbos off the Z32, well it also got the rest of the treatment, forgies etc etc, but it produces about 360 hp @ 7-8 psi, not to bad, so your expectations of the 35 will be about right, say engine upgrade VQ35DETT, you will have to find a cool mount for the intercoolers thought, small techincalities, we can fix it.

I like the car pretty much, just that I think the roof is too rounded.
And it would be nicer in darker colors too.

Has anyone pre-ordered one of the new Z's? I am wondering how much the dealers are gouging above MSRP? I have called a few dealers in my area and gotten responses of "We have already sold our alotment", "$10K over sticker", "Come on down and we'll discuss it", etc. There is a dealer about 50 miles away who seems more reasonable. I would like to know someone elses experiences before I get down to writing a check. :smoka:

I saw the first picture of the 350 convertible in motor trend. i wonder how much more it will cost than the coupe. i wish they offered t-tops on the coupe, i want my next car to be open aired. cant even get a sunroof on the coupe. anyone heard any scoop on the conv?

also, not a big mustang fan, but the 03 cobra is going to be supercharged with 390 hp, with conv. priced at 36,500. thats kinda tempting.

I cant wait for the z350. They claim it will run with the porsch boxster's. Being in many street races with people on my 82 toyota celica supra, it will be quite a step up. Awesome, and bueatiful car, but I'd like to know how they run, and what mods can be done to them.:sun:

Haha porshe boxter.....the ALtima v6 runs with a boxter.....the 350z should be running with GT Stangs and Z28 Camaro's

Of course it will. It'll beat the 260hp Mustang GT with ease, but it'll run with the 320hp Camaro Z28. The Mustang is way heavier than the Z, and has less power and torque, plus the Z has a much better transmission and differential. So it'll be able to eat up the Mustang GT with ease. It'll also beat a Boxter S, but will most-likely run with the Z28 with no prob. I'll prove it once I've gotten and broken in my new Z (coming in August)...
