THe 370Z has been spotted! :excited Although they kept the body kinda like the 350Z, it looks like a GT-R Meets 240Z if you ask me, I love the fact theyre using the quarter stylings of the 240Z > **[Nissan 370Z Spotted Testing In Germany, Shows New Details](https://jalopnik.com/5060570/nissan-370z-spotted-testing-in-germany-shows-new-details)** > > Those KGP spies stationed over in Germany on the edge of the Nurburgring have spotted the Nissan 370Z testing near the famed Nurburgring (is there anywhere else to test in Germany?), obviously getting in a few last laps before next month's unveil... ---

Not a huge fan of the pictures, but I think it will look better in person, as the new STi, the R35 GTR and a few others recently have been. It’s going to be pretty damn quick though, 200-300lbs lighter and I believe 25 more hp than the 07-08 350Z’s, which run mid 13’s at 103-105, I think. ---

It’s going to be the same as the Infiniti G37, which run 13.9-14.0 @ 100-101. I dunno where you got mid 13’s @ 103-105 for the 350Z. They run high 13’s bone stock, like 13.7-13.9 @ 100-102. 6 spd’s with headers, Borla duals, CAI, & a high flow cat are running 13.4’s-13.5’s @ 103-104. Supercharged 350Z’s and a few nitrous 350Z’s are running low low 13’s and dipping to 12’s with like 12.9’s-13.1’s @ 106-108. ---
