Plus the NISMO actually costs quite a bit more than the new 370Z in comparable trim.

Well I know the NISMO is heavier than the touring and weighs at 3325. The 370Z was weighed at 3350 per C&D for a base model.

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.

The dyno was on the same dyno as the 350Z. It was posted on my350z the comparisons.

The car only does 10-15 more rwhp over a HR. Just like how the G37 vs the 350z has done.

It does when dynos do not lie.

286 vs 260 = 26HP difference on same dyno + much wider torque band. comparing his car to a 370Z

The 370Z is simply superior in all aspects except the digital speedo and a good tire pressure gauge. I can live without those for the performance uptic.
