No V8. They use a 3.0L Twin Turbo (internal actuator) VQ motor. The GT300 class uses the 3.5L N/A

I saw the older versions of these cars up close and in person at JGTC in Fontana couple years ago. They looked/sounded so badass...these new ones are even sexier...

They used the 3.0 VG with turbos last season.

I heard they're going to bump to a V8 due to regulation?? Is this true?

I sure hope they don't end the Z. It does so well considering the foundation is not as expensive as say: one of those Murcielagos.

Plus, it will still be in production for awhile so most teams will not let it go so easily. At least not the GT 300 cars.

The AWD on the GTR is banned correct? I don't see all teams adopting the GTR so quickly since theres not a huge advantage.

The R32, 33 and 34 GTR's runin JGTC before were converted to RWD. And in 2003 the last year they ran the GTR's they acctually used the VQ motor instead of the RB26. Same for the Silvia's running in GT300.

AWD is allowed in GT, but it carries a very significant weight penalty.

I agree with mc350z and that 2007 will probably be the last year of the Z in GT, assuming the new GTR is released in 2007. It will probably take a year of testing to develop the proper aero package, chassi and etc for the new GTR.
