Hey don't get me wrong, I hate the fact that the rb motors are going away (as well as the sr-20). Your absolutely right about the inline six being a quick revver. But the motor in the IPS cars is all but stock nissan and they are reving them at 7500-9000 rpm and thats for about an hour per race. The production GTR v-8 probably won't rev as high as the rb (athough it could, and should imho
). See the old Q-45 motors were slow and porky, but the redesign was lightened and strengthened. Won't be as slow reving as what we expect from an 8. The big question, and determining factor for the redline, will be the cams. I would imagine that with the GTR being lighter than the Q, and with it being a performance car that they will put in some cams designed for higher rpm's.
On a side note the Q-45 that nissan brings to the IRL races has some serious ass, even in a big car.
Oh by the way, Gonthrax, you're everywhere. When I go lurking in other threads you seem to be in every damn one:silly2: :huh:
