Did you know the 370Z also shares a chassis with the G37 which is also a Skyline in Japan!?! ZOMFG! |
Almost. Wheel base is longer in the G. Always has been. They hold the same engine/tranny (2wd) as the G.

I really don't know much about these motors/setups, but what caught my eye was:
HOLY SHIT 500 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 RPM!!!!!!!!
But then why is is down to 400 ft-lbs already by 6500????
Is there anything that can be done to keep the torque curve from starting to fall as earlier as it currently is?
Nonetheless, 400 ft-lbs at the wheels at 6500 RPM is still insane!!!!!!!!!

the curve is dictated by the turbos. If I want the torque to keep rising, I will need bigger turbos. These turbos are good to 650-700 just on boost. Bigger turbos also means the power band will shift further down the line...so you wait longer for boost. I get full boost at 2700rpms...I don't even feel lag. ANd I use this car for road racing / time attack more than anything else...so I need that midrange. Never feels like the torque drops off...cuz hp keeps on coming.
