out on a limb here about new model

could switching back to an inline 6 help anything? I know its still a 6 but it does seem like inline 6's have a power advantage over the v-6. I just dont want them to go to a 2.0T like everyone else.

And imagine how smooth it would be compared to the current V6 which is near the end of it's life-cycle anyway and is waaaay too harsh.

i still think in the next 2 or 3 years nissian gotta change the vq engine.
i think it's time has come everyone knows what it sounds like at high rpms.

it's still a damn good power plant but imo it's reached it's limit...

like it or not the 5.0 and the v8 of the camaro for now is a better power plant. imo between the three of them most of the time but not all of the time
sports car buyers are swayed by looks,handling and power...

and face it the stang and the camaro might as well not even have a back seat. have you every tried to get into the back of one of these cars...

point is the Z does compete for buyers with these other cars.... not counting 17-21 year olds.
