Pericles Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 http://www.egmcartech.com/2007/01/12/nissa...ismo/#more-2513 This is interesting. The Nismo version has a 3.8 HR-series engine thats pushing 395hp. Ah, they still haven't confirmed the new GT-R engine, right? It HAS to be more powerful than the Z. I like it, Nissan is really getting it all together. Even the styling is improving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I guess they're still not putting out a turbo Z..what's the holdup? the new supra to clean the plate? there has to be a 400hp factory Z after 4 years! we all know it can be done.. IMO: NissanUSA is starting to go back into the same hole they dug out of in the 90s - damn cost cutting is starting to take its toll (maxima, altima, titan, and hte beloved Z are all having design related issues and recalls) Toyota and Honda are leaving Nissan in the dust as far as engineered quality goes... I'll just hold on to my VQ30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GT-R should be able to put a stop to all this nonsense about nissan losing it's way (I hope).... the Audi R8 better watch it's back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nissan is enjoying this leaking different engines to the press. The only consistant figure is the 500bhp part! So if this is right a VQ40HRTT? Or a new V6 altogether.
