The HR dynos 260-270 stock. The 370z has seen 275-285 stock. 306 vs 332 per what Nissan says is wrong. Dynos tell the truth. So if Nissan says it has 350 hp your going to believe them over what the car actually Dynos? LOL!

New NISMO now can be had now for 28-32k, the 370z 32k starting it seems.

Back on topic, keep your 07.
The Nismos are supposed to be 50 70 60 lbs lighter than the Touring but heavier than the base. Every Dyno can be calibrated different. To get the real story you need back to back cars on the same dyno. I just can't see raising the compression ratio to 11to1 AND increasing the displacement from 3.5 to 3.7 resulting in just a 10 hp gain....does not compute. Once again, you are suggesting he keep his 350Z Touring based on NISMO numbers. I love the NISMO but own a Touring. When I can afford it, I'm switching. If I already had a NISMO it would be a much harder choice, but both he and I don't.
