Nissan 370z Fastest V6 Available?

Exhaust · 11-02-2015, 11:25 PM

I'll keep it simple, but I can't find a v6 comparable to performance off the shelf with specs close to the 370z. Is the 370z the fastest v6 from factory in todays market?

M3, takes money out of the equation though

BMW-inline 6.Cayman-flat 6.

He probably means the performance for the money?

Hotrodz · 11-03-2015, 07:10 AM

Either way, he is pretty much right as far as N/A 6s go. The Z is right there with those fancy German cars.

ramoszx12r · 11-03-2015, 07:33 AM

Yes for the money an the best looking one.

You also have the Lexus RC F 350, but the price is silly.

mishuko · 11-03-2015, 07:45 AM

in terms of NA arguably one of the best engines on the market and probably the best performance tuned one in the 3-4L segment.

as soon as you go into FI'd v6's... the m3/m4 mmm tasty.

the lexus is350/rc 350 engine is nice but it's not as nice as the vhr37's performance.

still one of the strongest contenders on the market

IMO the Z is still probably the best pure sports car on the market for the money. There are a lot of better things out there (Cayman, 911, F-type, M4, etc) but you're going to pay out the @$$ for them. The Z is a great total package for what you pay.

There are slightly cheaper options too (BRZ, MX-5) but they're pretty disappointing IMO.

If all you care about is going as fast as possible as cheaply as possible, get a 5.0 and add turbos.

Ummm...hello???

osbornsm · 11-03-2015, 09:27 AM

Here's a V6 with a lot of power... retro too!!

edk370 · 11-03-2015, 09:37 AM

Porsches are H-6 i.e. horizontal-6, not V6, and ditto for anything BMW has (not V6 but I-6). Plus I think he means NA.

I'm going either V8 (C7 Vette), M4, Porsche 991, or Tesla P85 for my next whip. 370 is a nice car for what it is, but I want faster.
