I hope I don't sound too stupid. I just have lots of questions. Please excuse my ignorance. Someone please steer me right :) I don't know a lot about the new engine going in to the Z. But I was pretty sure it wasn't an aluminum block. I know all the Z's in the past haven't been. And that was part of the reason why the new Z weighs so much. If the car is going to weigh 3400lbs, I would be VERY surprised that it has an aluminum block engine. Now if they do put an aluminum block, it would be so bad because that means it won't be such a fat sucker. And the lighter weight would offset the 20 less hp or whatever it ends up being. Also if they Skyline would be getting the VQ35 engine and it gets 300hp, how would the Z fall short? That doesn't make sense too me. I'm also confused about the supercharger not doing much. They already have one on the Frontier and I thought it made quite a bit of difference. For the turbos not working on an aluminum block? Uhm I thought there were quite a few cars with turbos and aluminum block engines. I didn't quite understand. My suggestion to others. It's good an interesting to get cool information like this. But don't put too much in to these articles. I'm not saying Seedyrom isn't reliable or know what he's talking about. I'm just saying, this information is always chaning. So just take it with a grain of salt. I remember when the new Skyline was only going to be a GT-R and be a Nissan. It was going to be in the states when the new Z came out. But that doesn't seem to happen. Just remember there has to be some truth in to some of these rumors floating around. Thanks Seedy for the new info!
