Does nismo 370z come with different engine?

Cmike2780 · 01-06-2011, 04:26 PM

The Nismo has a different exhaust (h-pipe) & ecu tune. Other than that, the powertrain is completely the same as a standard Z. The cost upgrades are the result of the suspension, body and other Nismo add-on's.

Reminds me when I went to the Honda dealership asking about the S2000 right when they came out. The salesman told me it had 13:1 compression and the redline was set to 9000rpm for "legal" reasons.

LOL

hell, maybe it was a 98, I really can't remember, but I do remember hot rod magazine and the like dyno testing them (the LS's). After so many cars, things blur a little.

Regardless, that one was my wife's car and she doesn't like modding, so it didn't matter which it had. We only keep them for a year or so anyways normally. Finally starting to slow down though, had my 350 for 3 and a half years, the vette for 4 and now the 370 for a year and a half, but I'm getting itchy. When does the C7 come out? 2012 or 2013?

C7 should be out in 2012 as a 2013 model, from what I understand. Still, I wouldn't buy the first year-model. Personally, I think now is the time to buy a 'vette. Get a Z06. About everything that can be done to refine the platform, has been done, and it's awesome. The next gen will have to go through the refining process again, and I doubt there will be a 427ci engine offered.

getting off topic, but been there, done that. Although mine was a first year 05 with a supercharged A&A Vortech 515 rwhp regular C6 with custom widebody conversion (Z06 fenders front and rear and aftermarket hood and bumper so I wouldn't be a poser!). I need new stuff! No real problems with it, even being a first year, as is my 09 370.

Have a guy at the Nissan dealership call him who works at a mazda dealership and tell him to shut up.
