The real key, I think, will be whether or not they can shed some weight and add some extra N/A power. If they can drop the next Z by, say, 100 lbs, and bump the output up by 25 lbft of torque and and add 30+ bhp, the weight loss plus extra pull will make it feel like a totally different car out of the box.

Just wondering, but how different is the Q60 from the G37 in weight, handling, etc?

EDIT: Wait, I just looked it up... so other than the IPL version (essentially a Nismo Q60) the differences are just cosmetic???

C&D even reported the same right hander fuel starve -- 'da ****?
