I'm not. I can just see all the moronic V8 boys now: "huh huh huh ... y'see Cletus? Ya jest can't do with only 6 cylinduhs. Ya needs a big injun wit' a V8 if ya's gunna make any powuh. huh huh huh" They'll just all think they were right all along and that that proves how "superior" their jurassic V8s are to smaller high tech japanese turbocharged engines.



The only "advantage" you could say a V8 has is that of packaging a large-displacement engine. So if you're gonna go for only 3.5 Litres, why not stick with a 6 - even an inline 6 (the best sort of engine). TVR do it, as do Aston Martin (and as did Jaguar until they became Ford ), and nobody complains about their engines.

I still say the ultimate engine for the new GTR (though it won't happen) would be a 3.5 litre twin turbocharged inline 6. Yeah baby!!!!






hmmmph. Raf is sad that won't happen.

Bingo!! I say "If it Ain't broke, Don't fix it!" The only issue with the RB was emissions... Now you can't tell me that they can't make the RB26 meet emissions!? Please... But, sense Nissan apparently think's it's broke... Lets hope for the best... An easy RB swap! :silly2:
