The new 350Z may not have
twin turbos like the previous generation 300ZX but it looks like this
normally aspirated engine car will out-perform it for a whole lot
less. The new Z's VQ35DE engine produces 287 bhp @ 6200 rpm and
cranks out 274 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm.
As the performance numbers trickle in, the new 350Z is proving to be
a impressive sports car beating out cars costing thousands more.
Stay tuned for more performance tests as they are released!
