Niko, you also must provide a review and attempt to be bias-free (near impossible with sexy new car).

Bias-free review coming in a few weeks

And at last, enjoy it as much as you can!

[Niko_Fx]

Thank you guys

The tires are BFGoodrich G-Force T/A.

I posted some photos of my car on a Mustang forum and to my surprise (besides getting a lot of positive comments) they also posted videos of an 07 Z beating an 01 Cobra on the 1/4 mile, and having a pretty even race with an 04 Supercharged Cobra....

Someone also posted this:

The biggest thing you are missing is that the SAE standards have changed since the first 350Z came out. The 306HP that the 2007 350Z is rated at, will more likely be at 320HP using the old standard. The first 350Zs can put down as low as 225WHP or as high as 240WHP (rated at 287HP). The 2007s so far have varied from 268WHP to almost 280WHP, which is well in range of a stock 99 Cobra dyno, if not higher. I understand about the TQ differences, but the 350Z is also 100lbs lighter (more for the stripper models), with much more aggressive gearing and a higher rev range.

Pretty interesting

Here are the videos:

thats interesting, i always thought that nissan must have spent way too much money for a measly 6 bhp, hopefully thats true and you have a crazy fast car. i wonder where my 06 stands being in between the 03-05(287bhp) and the 07-08(306bhp) im rated at 300 for now but i just ordered a stillen hi-flow intake and im doing an ecu reflash next month, those should set me up well to compete with the VQ35HR's like yours not to mention any mustangs.

Speaking of mustangs about 5 have pulled up next to me trying to race, I dont know what it is about mustangs but theyre the only ones that go out of their way to try to race me. I only went with 2 of them so far and the Z is faster on the street than the mustang gt. The GT is faster at the drag strip im sure but so far that hasnt translated.

Niko, hopefully you get to line it up with one of these clowns soon and show them that we dont need a stinkin V8 or racing stripes

I don't know, I have a lot of respect for Mustangs and would never really expect to win in a straight line against an 03-04 Cobra, as a matter of fact, I'm sure that an 05+ GT will give a good fight... But just the fact that it's somehow close feels good, and in the end, we know who would win in the twisties

His GT is supercharged right? Goodbye 350Z

His GT is supercharged right? Goodbye 350Z

No, his isn't supercharged. But mine is.

[Niko_Fx]

No, his isn't supercharged. But mine is.

I knew there was a supercharged GT around!

Saw the thread now and can't figure out anything more contributing to say that hasn't been said yet. So, nice car, congratulations!

Thanks Pando

I've seen two 350Zs in different shades of gray/silver in the past week and none of them were as dark, metallic, or rich as the color of your car.
Is it aftermarket paint?

You'd be surprised in the number of variations of the same paint code. Sometimes it depends on build date, factory, trim level. I'll look tomorrow at work to see how many different colors there are for the 350z.
