Above all, LESS WEIGHT.

IMO it is much easier to produce more power, than it is to loose weight.

Who was that moron who kept telling us the 06' was going to have a wide body and a V8? He claimed to work for Nissan.

Metilmixo? C'mon the older members on here have to remember that Nostradamis person.

as a roadracer, less weight is always a good thing. I'm still looking for ways to reduce the weight in the G35 without going way overboard and cutting up stuff.

Maybe they are using a VQ3.7? Just like how they got the VQ to a 4.0 they got the 3.0 or 3.5 to a new 3.7 and for the skyline they are going to use a 3.7TT? Because some of the rumors I read for the skyline was a VQ3.3 engine was going to be used with a TT system.

No one knows; best guess seems to be 2009.....which sounds right to me. Z is selling well so why change.

P.S. Nissan,

Try to make your cloth seats not so FREAKING HOT AND SWEATY! I have never had a car that caused me to sweat so profusely even with the AC blasting and its only 80 deg outside! Maybe try to incorporate some of those "ventilated" seats into all the models.

There is this guy down the street. His brother-in-law knows a guy who used to be a janitor at Nissan Corporate Headquarters. He overheard a conversation from a very credible source about the new 2009 450Z. Cross my heart.
