This is true. Like most rice burners, you really have to wind them up to get anywhere.

I was out at our local lordco and two of the counter guys were talking about one of their turboed honda civics pushing 400whp.
I laughed and said I have over 400, with equal torque. He said, "Yeah, I wish I had torque"

I just looked up the VQ37 on wiki. It makes 332HP@7K RPM. It has a 7600RPM red line, 11:1 compression, intake and engine management light years beyond anything on a 928. They claim that the 370Z Nismo makes 350HP. That's certainly within reach on a modern, fairly large 6 cylinder.

And yeah, I really prefer the 996 turbo……..life is good!

Ever seen that bumper sticker that says, "My lug nuts have more torque than your Honda"? I respect all cars, Hondas included, but it did make me laugh!

I just traded in my 370Z (VQ37) for a 2003 996 turbo. After full exhaust modification, some K&N filters and dialing in a tune on a dyno my full HP gain for the 370Z was 44HP and 28 torque. The car was strictly NA so I think the 350Z would require some fairly extensive modification (possibly FI) to reach +400.

Yes just because when DATSUN used carburators back in late sixties Porsche used the KUGELFISHER In their911s along with the L jetronic in the 914, It should be fare to compare the DATSUN with the new 4l 911
500hp.
500hp.

Actually, I was comparing my 21 year old 928 equipped with LH jetronic batch fire injection to a new 350Z with sequential fuel injection. It is true, the 928 had a 1.5 liter displacement advantage. I was not aware that they were still referring to 350Z's as DATSUNs ![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

So this is .5 L more then the OP and 1L less then ours.
I would say the HP comes from efficiency in cylinder/head/intake configuration, compression or boost, cams and yes a more efficient brain. IMHO
Oh ya lots more Rrrrrrzzz which Greg is working on
