Hence the 306bhp (as opposed to 300bhp) power rating.<br><br>The HR is actually more powerful than the rating suggests, as it was rated using the new SAE power standards that seem to adjust all power ratings downwards a bit.  In reality it's 15-20 stronger than the third-gen VQ35.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sherief]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I caught that too: Nissan's site shows it is, indeed, the VQ35HR]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 6:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've heard great things about the NISMO suspension - doesn't add a significant amount of grip on a skidpad, but it makes the car much easier to control at the limit.  That's the kind of thing that makes the difference between a simply grippy car and a serious handling machine.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carlos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 4:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[what age group is this car directed towards?

I have a friend that owned a brand new Ferrari F355 back in high school (circa 1999) when they were new.  In undergrad (circa 2000-2004), the most common car was a fully loaded BMW 330 . . . but Porsches, M5s, M3s, and Mercedes were as common as RSXs and Celicas.  Guess who paid for it . . . Mommy and Daddy. :)  At below $40,000, Mommy and Daddy feel like their kid is cutting them a break. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pouya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 7:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[With that price and exterior, you'd think they would upgrade the motor at the very least...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zentrandi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 5:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good grief.  As if the dual air intakes and the relocated dipstick weren't enough.  As someone has already pointed out, '07 Zs get the same HR motor as the '07 G Sedan (V36 Skyline).

Critics would do well to remember the Bauhaus edict: form follows function.<br><br>Power:  On the track you want a reliable engine that can run up and down the rev range for periods longer than 13 seconds and distances farther than .25 miles.  Handling is more important on a road course, and 306 hp from a tractable powerplant is more than adequate.  <br><br>Price:  The car has Rays wheels, Yamaha mass dampers, and is assembled and seam welded by Autech, the same company that assembles the JGTC cars.  $2000 barely buys a set of Rays wheels, much less the other stuff.  Where else can you buy a hand built racer special with a full manufacturer's warranty for $40K?<br><br>Good luck to anyone trying to get one of these; you'll need it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 7:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's alot of money for a 350Z...

The mustang would cost much less, but at 38000 you can get a Mustang that will run like at bat out of hell.<br> <br>Nissan should do a retro of the 70s`240z.

Th article concerned GM advertising woes:<br><br>"Yeah, cause the Nissan Z-cars and Skyline GT-Rs, Honda NSX, Prelude, Integra GS-R and Type Rs, Toyota Supra, Toyota MR-2, Mazda Miata (MX-5), Mazda RX-7, Mazdaspeed 3 and 6. Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX and STI were "souless". <br><br>*sigh*<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twhQKfQSQP8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twhQKfQSQP8</a>"<br><br>Anyhow, back on topic. Mustang, a great car, but how many Mustang variants are out there where people are paying $40k, $50k, $60k or more because its more track worthy or its some sort of limited edition? How much are they asking for the Mustang KR? I don't remember exactly, but I know it won't be cheap.<br><br>I think it looks good (straight of Gran Turismo) and more than likely it performs exceptionaly well, although I would be worried about speedbumps and curbs. <br><br>The people who want it and can afford it will buy it. Let's not also forget the United States isn't center of the universe and there are Z-car nuts all over this planet who want this car more than a Mustang and will probably buy this car.<br><br>Why can't Autoblog post an article about a domestic or an import without it devolvling into an Old Glory versus Risisng Sun pissing contest?<br><br>Sheesh...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John R]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 14th 2007 8:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[That bodywork looks like cheap, fugly, bolt-on crap.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TIMMAH!]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 13th 2007 11:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nissan prices NISMO 350Z from $38,070]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/13/nissan-prices-nismo-350z-from-38-070/</guid><description><![CDATA[History repeats itself....Z car, RX7, and the entire lot all got too expensive.
