why waste money and time on r&d again when u can just use whats there and proven to work
yea the 350Z or basicly the whole line of 3.5 engine is based on a Minivan(called Elgrand which is only aviliable in Asia) engine :8

And from my experience 350zs don't live up to all the hype.

Nah, the 350Z is slow and lame compared to the old 300ZX twin turbo.
I heard something about a 350Z twin turbo coming out, might get interesting but if it doesn't beat the old 300ZX out of the box, it's a lost cause.

so your saying the engine with more friction generating surface area has less friction? try again.

Not quite, The VQ series used in many applications (altima, maxima, quest, some of the trucks) and it has been used since around 96. While the same engine series is used, it has alot of changes. It's like comparing a D15B6 to a D16Y8.

he said smoother meaning smoother running.

Re: I-6 Vs. V-6
 
the power of the inline engine is way more linear IMO
and ---- the 350z - crock of ---- 280hp
sounds cool - looks cool
but my four door sedan with 180ish hp is a contender with that car
plus the interior is garbage

Ah, misread, though they both have the same # of degrees between firings, so it still doesn't make sense.

well i think the theory is that since the counterweights and the pistons are up and down its smoother. there is something about it on page 1

i'll admit the 250z isn't my favorite car, but wtf kind of underpowered sedan will compete with a 350z on all levels? Nice job quoting the HP for the auto too.
