Whatever. My 370Z had that almost a decade ago (mine was a 2012, but Nissan did this in 2008 as a 2009YM car when the Z dropped).
and here is the result of that technology.
(this is after Stillen G3 intakes were installed. Those are worth about 20-25whp or so, and a decent bump on torque as well, but you can see the power curves)
I had some complaints about my 370Z, but the VQ37 was never one of them. Brilliant engine. Look at that torque curve...
It pulled just the same as my 2001 WS.6 LS1 6-speed car. Dig or roll. I even looked up Car and Driver's test data, and 0-60 and 5-60 are near identical, as are 1/4 mile ET and MPH, when compared to a C5 corvette (LS1, similar weight as the 370Z). Amazing what they did with that V6, although it didn't get as good a mileage on the highway as an LS1 C5, but, hey, lol!
Were these mass production vehicles?
