That's the engine in the M45. I'd say that's overkill!

When I mentioned it to her she liked it, so now the research begins.

Ah, I'm no doctor, but it seems like your garage is lacking a bit of V8 substance.

Nah... I didn't say we were getting rid of the MDX. The 370Z will be her fun car when she goes to school, runs errands etc. I'll use the MDX if I have the kids and she's out doing "girly" stuff.

Yeah, I know. That's why I was kind of excited when I saw the article about the rumored 450Z. I sold my '98 Camaro SS earlier this year. If the rumors are true about Chevy coming out with the Z28 with the supercharge 6.2L V8 out of the Cadillac CTS-V, I'ma be all over it.

Umm when it's a repost there is no reason to post about it again.

It'll be alot easier than coming in here all hot-headed and discussing a topic you don't want to discuss.

I've never really understood this behavior. I've been on LS1 boards for over 8 years and most recently on G35/G37 boards for the last 5 years or so, and I still just don't understand these types of responses. I have never given anyone a hard time about not being an expert on a subject. I either do what I can to help, or I avoid the topic altogether. Even within this thread, all of my responses have been in fun.

Seriously, anyone that gets this upset about stuff on an online discussion forum probably needs to seek professional help.

Mods, if you feel the need to lock this thread, go ahead. My feelings won't be hurt quite as much as others on this board might be.

You did bring up some good points in some of your posts. Who knows, maybe they'll release a limtited V8 Z34, something like the Japan exclusive 380RS.

This is the same reason Toyota switched from the 3S-GTE turbo inline 4 Supras to the 3UZ-FE V8 Supras before they changed body styles to the current Soarer/Lexus SC cars. The GT-Rs Nissan is currently campaigning in Super GT still run the same V8s from the Fairlady Z cars, but I don't see anyone speculating that Nissan will build a V8 GT-R. The reason for sticking with the V8 according to Nissan is that the VR motor is not yet proven enough to run in a race series. I call BS. Looks kinda bad if your 480hp motor isn't "proven" enough for the track. I think Nissan is simply able to get better and more useable power with the VK than they are the VR.
what about the VHR35 from the R390 haha.
that's an insane engine.

I think a 450Z is quite possible in the future.

The only question is, how long until Nissan builds a 4.5 liter V6?
