Not really. It makes more power than any stock Nissan motor, second only to the VG30DET. And it is N/A, so it can be argued that it is superior to the Z32's engine. Nissan's engineers certainly think so. I believe they even boasted that in the 350Z brochure.
Again...the rb26. Makes more hp stock. I'm not talking about "claimed crank hp" because I'm sure you know of the gentlemen's agreement in japan that limits the rating to 276/280 hp.
About the brochure, well 2 things. A the vg30 wasn't that great so the 3.5L in the 350z wouldn't have to be very spectacular to be better. Also...it's a new car, they are using it as a selling point.
Let me say this again. I'm not trying to dog your car. I'm sure your car is very nice, I just disagree with some of your views on it.
