Although, I do wonder at times why the little 2.5 Altima engine does just fine on the highway at 75 MPH barely turning 2,000 RPMs, while the Z is closer to 2,500 RPMs. With the extra power of the 370 it would have been nice for that extra gear in the AT to be more of an overdrive for better mileage.

My 6MT Z cruise at 80 mph around 3000 rpm. The engines are different. VQ is a much higher rev engine than the 2.5 Altima one.
