With the Renault/Daimler deal, I'm going to send an email to both companies and see if I could purchase a 6.3L AMG V8, hehe. I'm going to offer $5.

if your were going to go to all that trouble then just put in a 454.. see how can can keep going. why i said my ls1 because i actually owned it. trying to keep things realistic. and the ls1 is actually a popular engine to be swapped into imports IE the rx7's

Its popular because its cheap, and there are kits to do it. But, the same kits will work for ANY of the LSX motors really...so if you had no motor and you wanted to do the swap...MINIMUM I would put in is an LS2. If I had more monies and could find one? LS3.

One of the reasons Nissan use a straight six is because it's buttery smooth and can rev to 10k. All "V" motors will have some sort of vibration as they are not naturally balanced. The older RB series engines currently make a lot more power than the VR38 in the R35 GTR. Moving on...I would like to see either a new turbo straight six with around 4 liters like the Australian Ford F6 or a decent V10 twin turbo with a short stroke that suits boost. Quote:
The weight of the engine is a major factor as well, so big heavy V8's are not an option as they upset the balance of a small car like the Z. Jeremy Clarkson once said running a V8 is like having a dead cow on your hood! haha

Unfortunately making that much power would take away from the GTR marketshare and therefore will never happen.
