no, just curious as to how the power band compare to both. so the 350z is a little more torquey than the 370z, but doesnt compare in raw power?

Why don't you just drive them both and figure out for yourself?

TQ numbers are 268 for the 50, 270 for the 70, so no difference really in TQ.

true, what makes most of the differance is how the torque comes in, in the higher rpm range or lower.

tq curve for the VQ37 is flat, pulls hard through all ranges.

I ran a 350z with aftermarket exhaust at the "track" and it was no contest. Pulled away with ease and waved bye bye in the rearview in the process. The 350 did look good though lol. Imho da 350 has 2 be well tuned 2 compete.

Epic thread. I approve.

That is a brilliant technical explanation.

Not directed at anyone in general and just stating the obvious... You can't determine and compare power band by referencing peak figures like 306HP vs. 332HP and 268 lb-ft vs. 270 lb-ft. Those numbers mean nothing [to me].

The VQ35HR and VQ37VHR are very much alike, but the VHR has a bit more fancy computer gizmos to help it achieve a flatter torque band. So instead of peaky torque and power, you get something that's more consistent and linear throughout the range.

So what I mean by the VQ37VHR not being as responsive down low is probably because for daily driving the throttle response is quite conservative. It's a different story when you floor it. So how do you think I feel?
