Wow, this is already turning into the DE vs. HR wars from the 350 days and the specs haven't even been released yet, lol. I will say one thing, if Nissan does make this change, then I wouldn't expect the difference in performance to be minimal. There have been very few cars that have switched over to DI and not gotten significantly better. Odds are I'll be trading mine in if the difference is there.

I suppose you'll have to trade that in when the Z35 comes out.

Ugh. DE vs HR got ugly.

I hope a change like that doesn't happen just for the drop in value the early 370z's would take.

Yeah and every 6 months a new iPhone comes out.

Nissan didnt even have a GTR at this years Philly auto show

...

Junior370z · 01-31-2011, 10:44 PM

I really don't think Nissan is planning in Direct injecting the 370z V6 engine. Looks like any chanes would be a smaller 6 cylinder direct injected motor, possibly turbocharged. I tried to find anything about it but only came across these;

Nissan Future Vehicles

Sooner or later Nissan is going to have to do something. 22 MPG isn't going to cut it when the new standards kick in.

Cmike2780 · 01-31-2011, 10:56 PM

Would a power bump to 350hp or so really matter that much performance wise. I mean, the Nismo has that output, but the real world gains amount to milliseconds. It seems more about bragging rights than anything else. Something faster is always around the corner anyways. I think Z owners are at the same point GT-R owners were before the 2012's were announced. I hardly believe a faster Z would make mine any less fun to drive.

I'd be more interested in the new changes to the bumper, facia and overall design. I'm guessing Daytime Running Lights...

I more than agree with this statement. If the difference were almost a second (like the Stangs upgrade to 5.0 vs 4.6), I would be mad and consider a trade in. Even .5 hundreths of a second would not be enough to me.

I did not buy the Z for straight line performance only, it was the whole package...

Lemers · 01-31-2011, 10:59 PM

Any changes to the bumper and will be available to us soon after anyways.

Lemers · 02-01-2011, 12:28 PM

The Z coupe and G coupe are siblings. If there is a change in one's platform then it won't take long for the change the move to the other.

Tjai370Z · 02-01-2011, 01:47 PM

The new Mustang Gt 5.0 is way out of our league, it can actually be hanging with the e92 m3 at the track, the gt 5.0 aint just a straight line machine anymore especially if you get that brembo package.

but then i cant say the same for the camaro.

but either way driving a 370z and the gt 5.0 would be real different.
but if you want better times, the gt 5.0 would win hands on.

i agree, the 370z does need the DI. but there are way too many rumors, even about the Z getting the hybrid and diesel engines from Benz, has that been even confirmed yet?

We just gotta sit and wait right?
