http://www.autoblog.com/tag/PT%20Cruiser/]]>Dec 6th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/nissan-gt-r-to-be-sae-certified-at-480-hp/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/nissan-gt-r-to-be-sae-certified-at-480-hp/
I am hoping that this engine, like the VQ37, uses VVEL.

I thought I had heard that the 4.5 liter V8 was getting that upgrade, and a significant power increase for the M45/FX45 this upcoming year.

Personally, I would much rather see a G-coupe grand tourer with a 4.5 liter VVEL non-turbo engine making 350-400 horsepower with AWD, even if the transmission is behind the engine, rather than a rear transaxle. The G- coupe is far more sophisticated looking than the blunt, brutal, and almost crude lines of the GT-R. Over-exposure will die down, but the aesthetics of the GT-R are not going to get any better, unless it is re-styled.

I understand that some don't care about that, but some people do.

A G-coupe already seems like a fractional-price, asian-sourced Aston Martin protegé. With a good amount of 4.5l V8 power, it could be very cool. Sporty Grand Tourer, certainly not the same racing focus as the GTR, and a nice halo for Infiniti, while Nissan gets it's GTR. I doubt Nissan in Japan and other markets would complain too much about adding a V8 to the Skyline GT coupe, either...

I'm 6'10'' and I can't even fit in an F350. My knees almost touch the ceiling, and my codpiece juts painfully against the steering wheel.]]>Dec 7th 2007 5:24PM
