Z35 motor theory

I wouldn't want a v8 Z, especially the vk, that make it more front heavy. I'd rather see a smaller displacement twin turbo v6.

An aluminum block V8 would likely be lighter than a 6 once you add in the turbos and plumbing.

I thought i read in a few places that the vk doesnt weight that much more than the vq

Yeah, the VQ isn't a lightweight. Going by the rumors, it doesn't seem like the next Z will have one. I would love an all new aluminum 3.0TT. Just my preference, but I'd rather a factory turbo than an NA v8. Oh how I dream
