Z35 motor theory

They could always bring back the inline 6 with updated technology behind it and both shed weight and make power. Of course we will be at the EPA's mercy to a point. Which only makes the 3.0T V6 or I6 (would be nice) the default choice that makes sense. I would lean toward I6 because of balance, simplicity (for turbo plumbing as well as others), and most of all weight savings..........

There is an obvious choice, but is NISSAN willing to put for the effort? Until then, I have my turbo Z already.........so I doubt I will be in the market for a new car (unless the wife wants one too).

BMW dropped the v6 for the M3/4 and is going back with a turbo inline 6. So................

If the Germans can do it, I don't see how the Japanese can't! Come on Nissan, let's do this!
