Here's where I read it:

2010 Nissan Nismo 370Z - 2009 New York Auto Show Coverage, New car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine

Quote:
In order to provide power to match the track prowess, Nismo also fiddled with the Z's engine. The 3.7-liter V-6 is almost identical to that in a normal 370Z, but thanks to a Nismo exhaust system and a tricked-out engine control module, it sees a substantial boost in power. The Nismo-tuned mill produces 350 hp at 7400 rpm (vs. 332 hp @ 7000 rpm) and 276 lb-ft of torque (up from 270) at 5200 rpm. Nismo 370Zs are only available with a six-speed manual transmission, which is equipped with the trick rev-matching system.
Funny, the opening paragraph of the article says:

Quote:
Nissan's new 370Z may be quite nimble, but those hankering for a track-ready package should consider stepping up to the new 2010 Nismo 370Z, which debuts at the 2009 New York auto show.
That's pretty laughable. But to be fair, these are Automobile mag's words, not Nissan's.
