Too bad all those rumors of a GTR coupe for Infiniti never panned out.

Maybe a M56 coupe down the pipeline? It would be nice to have Infiniti have a full size V8 powered coupe to compete with the germans.
Some history for you....Ford tried the IRS in the 2003 Mustang Cobra Terminator. The half-axles kept snapping in two under the extreme torque produced. Consumers complained. Ford listened. So they went back to solid axle. It had absolutely nothing to do with tradition. It has evrything to do with the Musatng being an extreme torque monster.
