No need V12,the 3L V6 diesel already can hit 62mph in 6.1secs,about the same as our Z.

I would welcome a big *** V8.

Give the Z a TT V8

GT-R engine > LFA engine. Unless all u care about is the way it sounds. LFAs engine is all strung out with zero room for more power potential, the GT-Rs TT V6 has lots of room for more power.

Diesels? No please no! Diesel performance characteristics are not suited to sports cars. Audi should be boycotted for putting one in R8. What the hell are they thinking? I know, I for one would be greatly turned off a diesel Z.

Yes but here we arent allowed to modify the engine at all. maximum is a ECU tune so yeah I would prefer the already more powerfull and pretty sounding V10

A factory TT would be a nice option, with any motor.

I guarantee you a test drive of an R8 diesel would change your mind.

Article says that diesel in the Z would be about 211hp and 400lbs of torque. If the Z could lose a couple hundred more pounds, that would still be pretty quick.

Ya the only Mustangs or muscle cars in general I saw in Europe were all upper end models, Cobras or Saleens. And Mustangs were really the only muscle cars I saw with the exception of a few older Firebirds, from like the late 70s. But like I said they were all high end expensive models so they were proably bought by some guy with money and imported.
