Guest jens Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I have read that the american 280z has 149hp (probably sae net). Is this rearwheel or flywheel hp? In european versions They say it has around 170 din hp (flywheel hp) and the 260z 165 hp according to a sales brochure. Is this true.

Mike C Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Horsepower is SAE net. It has never been measured at the rear wheels in new cars. SAE gross is the engine which were the numbers used up until 1971 (or 70, I forget but think it's 71. Power went down in 71, but that's because compression ratios dropped that year.) SAE net is the engine as installed in the car. All accessories and the car's full exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
