Well if they do the 3.8TT then VVEL is out the door I think.
If they could do the 3.8TT around a manual transmission I think they could do it for a 10k price increase and it will keep the maintenance down for the average joe.

Then the only questions is, what do they do with the GTR...V8TT?

If they do the GTR V8TT thats a whole different ball game.

Exactly, but after the slight revision with the V6TT they are doing and how the racing GT-R uses a V8 it would be a great move.

but how much weight would be added on if the GTR gets the V8 motor

good point but I dont think so

thats why i said turn the Z in a 3.0L DI Turbo 6spd. and left the GTR right there because is doing a great job!
