Does nismo 370z come with different engine?

Reminds me of a 'vette owner I was talking to who swore the LS1 in his C5 was different than the one in my WS6. Almost as bad as the Z28 owner who tried to convince me their car was special because it came with a corvette engine.

Some people just cannot be swayed. Ignore.

But in his defense, back in the late 80s when the LS1 came out, they did rate it as lower power in the F bodies, although the dyno didn't show a real difference.

Late 90's?

Yes, they under-rated the engine in the F-bodies.

However, he was saying his intake had larger runners. Even after popping my hood and showing him the exact same LS6 intake, he stuck to his story, pointing at his and saying "See, they are larger!". He was so convinced that he was seeing things.

yeah, thats what I meant. For some reason I was thinking we had an 87 Z28 convertible, but it was a 97. I was just graduating college in 87 and on my first car, but we are now on our 30, 31, and 32nd cars.

'97 Z28 had the LT1.
