Turbo I6? Dont count on it.

I think we need a smiley that has a happy face holding a sign that says 'NO SHIT'

From the pictures post, I still like the styling of R34 with powerful, muscular and mean look. But who cares .................... ^_^
Anyway, it would be really interesting to see its specs and prices
I am suspecting it would cost somewhere from 60K for base and 60K~70K for the V-Spec with a Q45/M45 sloted in the car under an Infiniti badge. From this setting, they can chanllenge Honda's NSX (Or Acura, I should say) both in price and performance since NSX seems to be their only Japanese Rivalry so far........ I don't know if you guys consider SC430 as other one or not......

I hope you mean 60k in Canadian dollars. The GT-R (if it comes to North America) should be priced similarly to the Corvette.

Nissan stated that it'll be less than 2X the Z, so I think 55k-65k range would be a good guestimate. I don't think it has to be in the Corevette range at all. They're aiming @ 911 Turbo performance number. If they bring it over as an Infiniti, I'm sure the luxury is there as well. Sure the Corvette has good performance number but the interior is no where near luxury. I think it'll sell just fine in the 55k-65k range if they can match the 911 turbo in everything and make it a little luxurious as well.

The Z06 not only matches the 911 Turbo is most performace test, it excels in some.

The Z06 is one amazing beast. Too bad Vettes are a dime a dozen...but I suppose some people like that. Hell, I see more Corvettes than I do Preludes.
