Specs of the 3.7L VQ37VHR

Yup, these are the specs from the VQ37VHR (Infiniti G37 coupe). I have this weird gut feeling that Nissan will keep the engine almost identical. If anything, they will tweak

Default Specs of the 3.7L VQ37VHR

Yup, these are the specs from the VQ37VHR (Infiniti G37 coupe). I have this weird gut feeling that Nissan will keep the engine almost identical. If anything, they will tweak it up a little to get maybe 335 or 340 HP. Here is a quick specs of the new VQ37VHR engine

I was hoping they could keep weight down bellow 1400 kg as handling and speed would be awesome but a 5.2 second estimated 0-100 km time is nothing to be sneezed at .

The current 350 Z weighs in at 1560 kg bit of a porker compared to my 1340 kg........... RX8

Yes! The Z is indeed a heavy car. That's why we see many Z enthusiast who goes to track or auto crossing, change their suspension first. Even though the new Z is approximately 3135 lbs, I sure you can remove some unwanted stuff to make it lighter. Wow the Rx8 is very light at 2948 lbs. Can you imagine if one put a VQ engine from the Nissan and put in the RX8

The 370Z will definitely benefit from G37 already being released. I can wait to see this motor pushed!!

Guys I have a big question about the Z's engine..Is it fully aluminum because that is the one drawback about the Z that really strikes me..If the engine is fully aluminum, It should be lighter. I need help lightening the engine and was wondering if you guys knew the engine weight and any suggestions..I need to take weight off the front end
