"The 3.7-liter V6 receives a small power bump over the base car, thanks to an H-configured exhaust system and changes to the engine management system."

Based on this for the Nismo i would believe the claims from that other thread of decent power gains on the 370 from just exhaust/cats.

Like the front end and like the rear end, dislike the wing. But I do have to add that the front looks a lot like the 350:(

Forgot to say I like the wheels also

I honestly HATE the roadster. I hated the Z33 and Z32 verts too. They just don't look right.

The Nismo 370z smells like a Porsche from the side. Very nice job Nissan, kudos. 350HP will definitely make it a decent sports car.

Top of my list now.

That front fascia on a base model w/ sport package would be about the best looking 370Z in my opinion. Add an wheels, intake, exhaust and some tuning and you've got yourself a sweet 370Z that'll keep pace with the Nismo no problem.

I agree Nismo really wants to make me go in hock, Roadster would look good with better wheels
