2009 370Z First Info and Pricing

The overall shape and profile of the new Z will remain relatively unchanged. However, it will be slightly smaller than the current car, measuring roughly 163 in. from bumper to bumper, about 6.5 in. shorter than today's 350Z. Interior space will stay the same, but the car will weigh some 200 lb. less, tipping the scales at about 3010 lb.

What this means is the new Z will be a rocket. A reliable source in Japan has told us it will be powered by a 3.7-liter V-6, the same engine used in the Infiniti G37 coupe, with output bumped to 350 bhp at 6500 rpm and torque to about 280 lb.-ft. at 4500. This new power-to-weight ratio for the "370Z" will allow the car to reach 60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds, and should give the Porsche C***** S a run for its money around any racetrack.

Oh, and speaking of money, there are rumors that the price tag will also increase, probably north of the $35,000 mark. The 370Z will make its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this November and go on sale in the U.S. in early 2009.

Nissan is getting quite a lineup! I thought it would be a bigger change, but I guess they feel this was appropriate. Not really feeling the headlights for some reason

All they need now is to bring back the Silvia. That is going to be a wicked line up.

Again??? When was the first time? The 300ZX TT had two separate turbos running each bank on the engine. It was a true twin turbo. The Supra and the RX-7 came with lame *** sequentials though
