the 07 si has a little more than 100hp, but i would also trade it towards a z.

one thing to keep in mind though...the dealer isn't going to just let you trade them even if you bought the si for around the same price. they still have to resell it and make a profit. you'll have to pay extra, but if you have the money, it shouldn't be too much. i kinda like having some back seats...they have come in handy on many occasions. at least with the hatchback there is plenty of room back there. one thing i don't like is how they rear strut bar (yea it looks nice..) takes up a massive amount of room that could prevent you from loading certain objects into the back. sure it can come out...but that is a pain in the *** to take it out and put it in from time to time.

on a final note.. rwd>fwd

My uncle owns a 350z and says he is very unimpressed with the quailty of the interior, he said everything seems a little to cheap, just something to think about.

My brother is seriously thinking of gettinga 2003/2004 350Z, and he always says --and I agree-- 'the interior is nothing special.' I do, however, love that car in the burgundy... Very nice...

P.S. I miss the old 300Z interior; that wrap-around interior was memorable.

I agree... never been a fan of the new Z cars. Underpowered and overrated.

also a waste of money. one, you will not get what you paid for your car and two, you still owe money on the first car. If u want that, why did you waste the money in the first place?

well, if they are hard to come by in his area he may be able to get back what he paid for it. More than likely he will take a small hit but you never really know... put it up and see if you get any hits.

...thenew Si's have 197 horses, and the other option is 140 horses. What i said before was a comparison of my car's horsepower rating, not the new Si.

ahh ok. yea i know about the 197, but wasn't sure if you meant whp or what. i saw a dyno chart earlier today that had the baseline for the 06 or 07 si at ~173 (i forget about last digit, but it was at least 173)

170's is where you will be at the wheels with a new Si... pretty good whp to start with, especially at the weight. Drive train loss is usually around 12% for a manual transmision on a FWD car.
