Yes, 333 stock. I assume, never having dyno'd it, that it has roughly 345-350hp after the mods because there is very little room for improvement on the 3.2 liter 6 cylinder. It weighs around 3400 lbs and pushes 262 ft. lbs stock. Peak horse power is made at 7,900 rpm(not a typo), and peak torque is at 4,900. Oh, and if you're wondering, I get 30 mpg on the highway, and as low as 11 if I feel the urge to have some real fun.

How much does the 370Z weigh stock?

^ around 3300 lbs.

Yeah, breath of fresh air if I've ever seen one. Love M3's sir. It sounds about right that a slightly less powerful car will run around the same as a slightly heavier one.

I have a Nismo 350Z and have ran both e46 M3s and 370Zs. From my experience, from a third gear roll, the 370 was faster.

I think it's so cool that you have race tracks in the USA that will take you from one town to the next.

Ours just go round and round in boring circles.

I'm pretty sure that the "legit racetrack" they were on probably has federal interstate highway signs stuck in it...

I thought that was my crew chief letting me know how many more laps I had.
