I hope not cuz as much as I would love a V8 Z I wouldnt get it if it looks like the G. How long was the 350 in production before the 370 came out?

5 years.

nissan doesnt even have a engine ready for something like that.. I dont see it happening. Sales are already bad enough.. I dont see any money to R&D a whole new engine. they will stick to the tried the true VQ maybe stroke it a lil more and call it a 380Z maybe DI will show up.. the real point though is who knows.

No one.

Yes they do....they are already 5 years out on the engine design curve.

If they do a V8 I hope they can get good power and good mpg.

epic fail

Zsteve · 03-20-2010, 11:29 PM

yea definately dont like the pic and Im hoping if they do come out with it it wont look like a G but a V8 would be great. Do we have anyone in the forum that is connected to Nissan that might be able to find out more? Ill be ready to trade in my Z by 2012.

nogoodname · 03-20-2010, 11:40 PM

There's no V8, it's all just rumors.

Zsteve · 03-20-2010, 11:41 PM

would they be able to get a 4.0 with a V6?

I have 4.0L V6 in my Frontier. Granted, it's a VQ40DE motor with variable timing, and not VHxxVHR w/ VVEL.

Seriously.

antennahead · 03-20-2010, 11:47 PM

3.8 is pushing the limit of that block.

Zsteve · 03-20-2010, 11:47 PM

So if they are a little leary of a V8 cuz of gas possibly, for them to stay with a V6 what would be the new number for the next generation? ZX maybe.

I see they are using 4.0 V6s now but looks mostly on SUV and trucks.

nogoodname · 03-20-2010, 11:48 PM

I seriously doubt a V8 is coming..... the G sedan is already getting a 2.5L V6 now.....and the coupe might get it later.
