Actually, I've never seen a 350 dyno. From what i saw, this one is modded. CAI, exhaust, headers, and ECU tune. Correct me if I'm wrong, 350s weigh about 3300 lbs. right? The 8 weighs in at 3000 - 3100 lbs. ... huh.

Well known the Z puts down higher power numbers. Product of displacement, even counting the rotary as a 2.6 liter it's still down by .9 in displacement.
Looking at raw power numbers, the last gen 300ZX had a 3.0 NA 220hp engine. The current has a 3.5 NA 300hp engine.
That's 73.3hp per liter for the 300Z, and 85.71 for the 350Z. If you break this down further, using some basic math, the 300ZX produced 7.3hp per 1/10 of a liter, and the 350Z is at 8.5 per 1/10 of a liter. This is about 16% more power per 1/10th between the 300Z and 350Z.
Conversely, the last generation RX-7's REW made 160hp NA. Now let's all assume the Renesis is 232hp (I'm not debating how much it makes let's just go with what's published).
That's 123hp per liter for a NA REW @ 1.3 liters, and 178hp for the Renesis. Again, using basic math, the REW produced 12.3hp per 1/10 of a liter, and the Renesis is at 17.8 per 1/10 of a liter. This is about 44% more power per 1/10th between the REW and Renesis.
Therefore, I'm pretty content with the power Mazda has derived from the rotary since they are the only ones even doing research. Meanwhile, Nissan has the whole industry to draw ideas from, and from one generation to the next they only manage a 16% increase??? Hooray for Nissan, add another .5 liters of displacement and make a bloated pig of a sports car to cover their lack of engineering prowess.

Before someone says "smack another rotor on", seriously, how could that be done and still keep it a two rotor?
