Look at the LS7 and the GT-R's engine/setup. The GTR's powerplant is WAY! heavier than the LS7...and still makes less power.

GT-R Engine: 608#

LS7: 458#

Oh, yeah, TR6060 weight: 121#

Ls7+TR6060 Transmission= 579#

Lol, the engine AND transmission weigh almost 50# LESS! than just the turbo V6 in the GT-R with it's piping and turbo's...and it makes more power.

Yes...a V8 is the way to go. Once you get over your warm and fuzzies about all that technology and all those moving parts, an "old school" pushrod V8 is lighter and more powerful and just plain makes more sense.
