Message	idea though. I like the idea of being lighter for sure but the thought of going to a T-4 cylinder just totally turns me and most others (obviously) off. I think even just a smaller 6 cylinder with a single turbo would be sufficient. They actually already have a direct injected V8 from the FX50 that fits the current platform that could be used as an option even if it is detuned a bit. As long as the car stays sub-400hp I would not consider it a competitor to the GTR. Make it a 4 cylinder though and it is hard to take it seriously as a true sports car. I think Hyundai is learning that lesson now as it now has a decent V6 in the Genesis Coupe. That car will eat the Zs lunch if they intend to just use a T-4 motor.
