The engine is the one thing that Nakamura pointed to as needing changed, as the 3.7-liter V-6 just isn’t cutting it. Sure, it’s pumping out a healthy 332 ponies, but its 270 pound-feet of torque leave a little to be desired. The 370Z can hit 60 mph in 5.1 seconds on a good day, but modern sports cars are almost all in the sub-5-second range. Moreover, the 18 to 19 mpg city and 25 to 26 mpg highway is really dragging Nissan down in the CAFÉ regulations.
does that mean its going to be faster and better mpg?
