8 cylinder in a Z? What do you think?
 
Well this may seem a bit odd, and I'm not not much of a car guy so you better-knowing people can correct me if I'm wrong. But...

Would you like to see a future model Z with an 8-cylinder engine?

Personally, I would like to see this car with a sleeker look, maybe a "sportier" spoiler, and a nice robust 8-cyl engine. Maybe like 4.0-4.5 litre with 400-450ish hp? What's your opinion? Oh and maybe add an inch or two onto those rims and widen up the tires ;)

maybe I'm just dreaming and should save up for that STILLEN supercharger... (or maybe I should just stick to my turntables and stock cars haha)

It would never happen but hell yeah. If money was no object there would be a Ford 5.4L with a KB blower in my Z right now. :tup:

V8 in the Z from factory = not going to happen. Sorry to crush your dreams...lol

You could always get an LS swap :tup:

There's that G35 drifter with the Titan's VK56, be a fun swap to do to my Z but only if, God forbid, the Titan gets totaled in such a way that preserves the engine/transmission (and me and any passengers I may have):

That would be so awesome! A 370 with a 5" cowl hood. LOL.

DjSquall 04-12-2010 09:40 PM

Damn Titan, that looks nice. But wouldn't just swapping out the engine for a more powerful one cause extreme stress on the drivetrain/transmission? (whatever the chain of parts it is that transfers the forces from the engine to the wheels) Or would your tires just spin like a roulette?

If you were going to go through all that trouble it'd be better to use one of the more recent LS engines.
