i was concidering buying a 350Z but 290hp wasn't enough so i guess when i sell my current car (RSX Type-S, i got it for a good deal), i might now have to consider the new 350Z , sry 450Z (hopefully ht the price will still be good

If this has 4WD, then where does this put the skyline?

then the skyline would have to be very powerful. If the 450Z will be competing with the 911 then the skyline would have to be able to fight the new 911 TT when it comes out

I think it's BS as well. I mean most of those "news" that the car magazines come up with are crap. But I'm sure that V8 will go into the next GT-R. With like they said, all wheel drive and hopefully HICAS.

But it'll be a shame to lose the turbo characteristics of the previous GT-R's. Wait, weren't they using the V8's in the body of the R34 GT-R's a while back in the Japanese GT500 Series?

so true, so all you get is the same performance with worse gas mileage and higher insurance :roll:
I do like what they are doing but because of the overwhelming number of 350z's I see I don't much care for the looks

This was probably just a 'what if' project prior to Nissan giving the go-ahead to the US Skyline. Sounds like they were of thinking of putting a Renault 4.5 liter If Nissan does come out with a higher performance version, they need to give the bodywork more muscle. I see more women than men driving these cars.
