I didnt post this to get into a keyboard war. just passing some interesting news to make the day pass. But as i read and went to the links you provided it also says from the last link:
No word on whether the rumored 2009 launch date is still in play.
send Autoblog an email and let them know how dis-pleased you are with them for having the nerve to speculate....
this thread is just stupid, as soon as this eledged v8 Z shows up at an auto show in the means of being a production car, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd definitely dig the small V8 though. You could get a serious redline with an 8 that small. (sorta like the 2.4L Formula 1 that redlines at 19,000!!!).

Don't like it. But why not just go with a turbo V6 instead of a V8? But this is just rumors and I'll just wait until the L.A auto show for the real results.

Why are people hating the v8 possibility? I think having different displacements and engine options in different trims will definitely wake things up in the Z market. And why no mention of a DSG? That is mind-boggling.
