Specs of the 3.7L VQ37VHR
 

Yup, these are the specs from the VQ37VHR (Infiniti G37 coupe). I have this weird gut feeling that Nissan will keep the engine almost identical. If anything, they will tweak it up a little to get maybe 335 or 340 HP. Here is a quick specs of the new VQ37VHR engine

There are rumors going around that the new 370z will have 338 HP and 270 ft/lbs of tq. It'll weigh somewhere between 3134-3140 lbs. VQ37VHR = :driving:

hmmm interesting...

I was hoping they could keep weight down bellow 1400 kg as handling and speed would be awesome but a 5.2 second :bowrofl: estimated 0-100 km time is nothing to be sneezed at .

The current 350 Z weighs in at 1560 kg bit of a porker compared to my 1340 kg........... RX8

Yes! The Z is indeed a heavy car. That's why we see many Z enthusiast who goes to track or auto crossing, change their suspension first. Even though the new Z is approximately 3135 lbs, I sure you can remove some unwanted stuff to make it lighter. Wow the Rx8 is very light at 2948 lbs. Can you imagine if one put a VQ engine from the Nissan and put in the RX8 :eek:

Will the new Z Have a 50 %front / 50 % rear weigh distribution ?

Very good question. I guess time to snoop around the web :icon17:. I am working on it. :postwhore:

The 370Z will definitely benefit from G37 already being released. I can wait to see this motor pushed!!

Lol...
Looks like noe one was on the dot with this one!
The 370z is going to have 332bhp!

No problem. I'm still trying to figure out why the lined the cylinders with stuff either from a big screen TV or the blood bank.

Guys I have a big question about the Z's engine..Is it fully aluminum because that is the one drawback about the Z that really strikes me..If the engine is fully aluminum, It should be lighter. I need help lightening the engine and was wondering if you guys knew the engine weight and any suggestions..I need to take weight off the front end

Google brought me back to this thread, was wondering if anyone has a clue about engine weight?
