Spoke to Nissan rep at Philly car show

christian370z

I wouldn't be surprised if this was true, honestly the 370z is being eclipsed handily by the Mustang GT and is going to face competition from the coming refresh of the Genesis and now the uprated v6 Camaro, it would need this power increase to stay competitive IMO. In its current state, I don't see the 370z being really competitive for much longer.

I believe it's getting a bump to 325 or 330hp. Don't quote me though. I read so much everythng seems to blend together.

Infiniti Readies Direct Injection for M37 and G37, Unsure About New Q - Car News - Car and Driver

cool. but im fine with wat my Z provides today. even at the advertized 332hp that extra 2hp at the end just makes all the difference. i know when that last 2hp just kicks in.

kenchan

wow 5hp at the crank is dangeriously furious power. are they ready for it?!!!

Is Honest Abe always honest?

Who knows how valid that information truly is. It would be nice to see the Z evolve a bit more (even as a current 370 owner). But I certainly wouldn't hold off buying a Z now if I were in the market for a new one. This kind of future guessing gets people waiting forever...always worrying they won't get the best. News flash: there will always be something better available down the road. It happens all the time with people waiting to buy new Mac computers because everyone thinks the model they want is next in the update cycle. Just buy it if you're shopping for one.

The way I would see it is how the G & Z got updated, the Infiniti line got the VQ3.7L first for about one year and then over to the Z. I could see an updated G37 in 2012 or 2013 and then 2014 the Z gets the update.
Who knows where Nissan is at testing, a lot of good & bad has come from DI so far and hopefully Nissan is taking ques from others (and with the new Juke).

Once I get a S/C, the gains from DI will be laughable. Booooaaahahahahahahah!

woah, i think you woke up the french guy.

optiontrader

It would make sense to update the Infiniti M37, as the M56 is already DI. However, since it's a drop in for the G, it almost certainly is the same for the Z. If the engine is ready, I see this happening sooner than we think.

HP gains are inevitable, as you can tune much closer to stoich, and extract more power from the engine.

Makes me wonder why/when the GT-R is going DI...

You guys know that a Camaro weighs like 3500+pounds right? I dont think the Z has to worry much about V6 Camaros or Stangs (which top out at I think like 117mph or some crap) I think the stock 370 holds its own pretty well against the 400+hp Stang and Camaro. Its just as fast or faster to 60, I mean yea the V8's run away from it in the quarter but not but leaps and bounds. And I would hope nissan would wait more then like 3 years to make a big change like that. I mean from like what 04-08 the 350 only gained like 20hp correct???
