I guess I was right about certain people being butt hurt. And yes, your insecurity is the best example ive seen so far.

I'm very excited about DI, none of my posts suggest otherwise. I guess in your own head you make sense of your miss interpretaion. Reading back on this thread i didnt see a single butt hurt member...but OK LOL

the z is already FWD in the snow.. if you turn your head and drive in reverse...

GZ3 · 02-02-2011, 11:15 AM

a rep told me that 2012 Z is gonna have targa top, and also "optional" turbo limited transponder inclusion rear stabilzer power exhaust intake manifolds spocket technologies...this should allow us to keep up in the 1/4 with the 5.0

but will it have sharks with freakin lasers attached to their heads?!?! I need to know, this is def the deciding point for me if I'm going to be trading in the '09 for the '12. Any help is appreciated!

He also said the car will have a revised front and rear facia. I asked if he knew of a release date and he said they didn't have a definite date yet, but his best guess would be mid-summer.

I realize anything short of an official announcement is hearsay, but I thought you guys would find this interesting nonetheless.

Direct Injection (DI) for the 2012 Nissan 370Z is the most probable prognostication I have heard for this coming years Z. It should give a hp (not sure of 360hp) and fuel efficiency boost! Nissan better add more than just a new color, and heated seats in 2012, and history says they will!

"For the 2006 model year, the 350Z received a number of notable changes for its mid-cycle facelift. The 300HP/260TQ Rev-up engine that was introduced mid-year 2005 with 6-speed manual was offered for every trim now.” “The headlights now sported larger bi-xenon projectors, the front bumper had been revised, the rear taillights now use LEDs, and interior changes brought differences to the center console” (Nissan 350Z - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

We see Nissan rolling out the ESFLOW at the Geneva auto show (Videos - Free video downloads and streaming video - CNET TV) and all the exotics showing off more fuel efficient designs with added hp and torque. This is the new direction for near future cars not just HP or handling increases. In 2011 we saw a Mustang be the first car to break 300hp and get 30 mpg!

While I think a all electric or hybrid Z is too soon for next year a DI is what the doctor ordered. Heck even the new ugly duckling Nissan Juke has Direct Injection to give added performance and fuel economy. (Nissan JUKE : Direct Injection Gasoline | Cars Technology - Electric and hybrid vehicle system). If the entry level Nissan Juke can have DI you better believe Nissan can put that tech in the 2012 370Z.

I sure hope this rumor has basis as I finally have the coin for a 370Z and this upgrade would definitely help me pull the trigger on a 2012 370Z. Now if the revised front and rear facia changes allow for more situational awareness and views out the rear window id be in heaven, but that’s wishful thinking and not part of facia’s
