Anyone know how much HP the 2002 will have?

The current gossip going around is that it will be the same as the new Z and that is 275 as of today.
The engine will be the VQ35 that is currently in the Pathfinder. It is rated @ 250HP @ 6000 and 240lb-ft @3200. The current Max is rated 222(7)@ 6400 (at or near the reve limiter) and 217 lb-ft @4000.
If we use an HP and lb-ft per L we get that a 3.5L Max should develop 259 HP. and 253 lb-ft. I can see them narrowing the power band, raising the point where top HP is developed and trading it off against torque, HP is what sells a car.
There are other places where power can be gained, like in how well the car breathes in and out, plus refinement of the internal components of the engine, which was done to get the VQ30DE from 190HP to the VQ30DE-K to 222.

Yeah, I think it will be a 3.5L V6 with 260hp. The new Z will have a variant of that engine producing close to 280hp, the Japanese legal "maximum."
Either way, the 5th gen body with 260 stock horsepower is going to be mad fast. Get it before the "big" Maxima comes out.
