aftermarket has not even hit on these cars yet. who knows what kind of power bolt ons will make with this new engine.. nobody!
for all we know it could be detuned..and way restrictive...
last but not least.. this may not be everyones option but think of the possibilities with FORCED INDUCTION ON THIS MOTOR!!!!!!!!
its already at 335i level... a simple $4k supercharger kit would make this car INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!
its got twin intakes that are just screaming for some forcefed air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i dont know what to tell you.. until people actually get the car and start driving it ect ect.. then its all speculation..
one car is NA the other is FI both are (6 cyl's) one makes alot of power with no turbo..
I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I DONT BUY A SPORTS COUPE TO LEAVE IT STOCK.. and from the looks of the new engine theres plenty of room to make more HP the twin intake looks mighty promising to me..
im sure after market product makers are just itching for this thing to come out so then can work the majik on this new nissan...
im personally still on the fence about all the new coupes out. but seriously this car just put a spark back up my *** that i thought was gone.
if you cant see the potential then im sorry.

The 335i definately has that amazing torque line. Amazing amount of torque from 2k all the way to [almost] redline.
As far as torque, im sure it will help it off the line. But im convinced that the VQ37VHR, which shows to have more wheel horsepower, will keep up with the 335i due to its great powerband; the VQ37VHR just keeps on pulling until redline.
I guess we will have to see these two go head to head; should be a very interesting match, seeing how their engines perform very good, yet in a completely different manner.

I don't know, I came away pretty impressed with the Bimmer. If you want something to smoke that car, just get the C6 Vette and you'll save $10 grand.
Now with respect to the dyno. Why do they say that the VQ35DE Rev-up has a 6600-rpm fuel cutoff?

The iDrive may be a tad over the top, though not nearly as bad as Car&Driver would have you believe.

Hate to break it to guys that think mods for the VQ37HR are going to match up with the turbo 335I. Vishnu already got this engine to put down 331hp/350ft lbs torque at the wheels.

Lets wait and see before making assumptions that your 37 will be flawless. I bet you that part of the reasoning behind the revision of this VQ is because of the oil consumption problem.
And as far as Torque vs HP debate, I'd personally rather have torque through out the power band.

Why would you make an assumption that they redesign the VQ to get rid of the oil consumption issue? That is just stupid. They have to redesign it due to COMPETITION. Nothing more.
This isn't a torque vs hp debate. Look at the hp curve of the G37. When you shift the g37 it will be at the 335's peak hp and raise from there. When you shift the 335, it will be at it's peak hp and drop from there. Around town the 335 will be/feel faster, I don't argue that though.
