[DEWwy-98]

Spotted this over on sister forum for NewNissanZ.com. I'd forgotten (or maybe just never knew because I didn't like the old Z) that the last 370Z Nismo got a 100hp bump. Apparently the new one is expected to get a 150hp boost, taking up to around 500hp total.

That, along with Brembo brakes, could fix a lot of the complaints about the Z from the initial launch.

Would a monster Z tempt you out of a Mustang?

Spy shots - Nissan Z Nismo spotted in Los Angeles

Our spy photographers spotted these two prototypes on L.A.'s famous Angeles Crest Highway. Note the new front clip, with a new grille insert and what our photographers estimated was an extra 2-3 inches of length. Out back there's a new spoiler. And behind the wheels are red Brembo stoppers...

I seriously doubt 500-hp....

Same!

Having owned 2 new 370Z nismo cars (still own one), I seriously doubt that much HP on a stock production run. 350 bhp is plenty for that car. It’s a corner-carver by design, not a drag car.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fast, but it’s not Mustang fast.
