Does it? I read somewhere it was the same one... the WRX is a nice looking car though. I almost got one, but I felt that I wouldn't be quite happy with it ... the interior of the Z is very nice and the Evo X's was CHEAP. I wanted something that was comfortable and just different. I do miss the AWD though. It would be cool to have an AWD Z

I think it got beefed up around 06 when they went to the ej25.

Dont get me wrong I love my Z ,I do think they should have made a TT version ,I dont know what a safe whp /tourq would be with the stock internals but a TT or SC with around 370whp would be what I would have got . On another note how about sharing the same engine, maybe a detuned one as the GTR ,The cars are very different in style and one is AWD .Enough of a reason to have the two I think . I am looking forward to owning this car for the rest of my life and dont regret my decision one bit .I just dont want to wind up like the 350 z guys in 2012 with a different powerplant tranny etc a limited production run from 09 till 12 and low options for boost ( they should have made the two engines easy to swap IMHO) Nissan is missing something here and it seems they are loosing out .Some people are dumping there Z's to pick up car's in the same price range that perform better , are more easily modded (or both ) ,or they upgrad to a GTR or VET .That sucks for us ,This cars ground work sould have been better .OIL Cooler ,radiator ,Brake freeze , etc etc .This is suposed to be a SPORTS CAR ! That goes around a Track more than twice before over heating ! My Dads buick could !Nissan needs the K.I.S.S. principle badly .

The is suppose to be a poor mans sports car. A loaded Auto convert runs close to 50K thats not cheap, so could you imagine if they offered a TT or SC version. Anyone who bought this car thinking they where going to be a stop light champ was sadly mistaken and did not do there reasearch before buying. If you wanted to be the fastest guy around in a straight line you shoudl have bought a Vette or the 5.0.
