My 05 dynoed 253 hp and 231 tq stock.
Basically equal with the 05 being faster period and the same TQ.

Nissan would not go backwards on designing a great car and make it inferior to the previous year.

A 350z had Brembo brake problems after 3-4 runs at the autox 2 events ago. I had my 05 and did all the runs without a problem. His were squealing like mad, and the tech people asked him to not run again till he fixed the problem. Found out his pads were glazed badly.
They are no smoother than our 05 brakes.

And really, if you change out the Rims to, say Volks, they both almost look identical. So, yes, that car looks good, especially with the 05 rims and Diamond Graphite (btw, that was also a nice selling point having the new rims on the 05's for me)

Oh, stop being a hypocrite. You've been defending the 03-04's all through this thread. And really, neither one of use should be defending our cars. Maybe we have our reasons for chosing the Model Year that we did, but let's not stoop down to the 350Z levels here! All the Model Years have nice features. What we like is different from what another person likes. In all honesty, I would only consider the opions of the people that had the option of buying both cars and chose one over the other or the people that bought one and traded it for the other (although, I have yet to read about one 05 owner trading for an 03-04). All other opinions are really more of defensive statements and a lot less of "This is the reason why I bought xxxx Model".
When I bought mine in Mid July, I was offered Both Models and decided on the 05's for the reasons I stated above. Anywho, Let's just have some fun with our cars instead of bashing each other

and i ddnt know that the 05 exhaust was diff than the 03-04
where does it say that?

where does it say that?There have been a few articles, and I even think SportZ magazine was one. The internals were changed and they made some parts stronger to withstand the extra rev limit.
The exhaust system is completely different from the 03-04. It's pretty obvious. Go sit in a 05 and start it up and listen. You will see what I mean.

That's a very strong statement, and may be true, but it's a little early to make such a general statement without future revup mod successes like the motordyne.
Trey, you have to understand I have seen a lot of the tests already that you all have not. I have seen cars with mods and this mod and they are producing a ton of power that no 03-04 has touched yet on a dyno.

Okay, if numbers mean nothing, then why are you arguing that the 05 has less TQ? I mean come on now.
Please prove to me otherwise that the 05 is a less of a car over the 03-04? I owned both cars you haven't. I want to see documented data on this. Not your opinion.

I might be currently a 05 owner, but I owned both cars and so have others here like Trey. You HAVEN'T! Please stop this non-sense! You really are making yourself look bad man.
