NEW 2-17-15 - possible 2016/17 Z (Z35) details

The item that makes the GTR so bulletproof is the fact that each motor is hand built to tight tolerances similar to other highend exotics. the next VQ will not get that treatment.

Seems all the more likely the z35 will be at 400hp as mentioned by the OP, as Infiniti has shared engines between the two cars.

I wouldn't say that many..... How many 5.0 mustangs are out there? Just because the Z would make 400hp doesn't mean that there aren't and havent been other cars out that do the same.
