The Camaro is ugly enough with just two doors.

Mr_Pieper

Fine. We can put RX-8 doors on a GTO. I'm not buying the donor car, though. Every one of them for sale around here must be made of pure gold underneath and the owners all want a fortune.

Blackbriar2189

ok dude. Just to make it even dumber you could replace the v8 with a renesis too.

Actually if you made a kit to put the Renasis into the MX5---it would sell very well! Since bought of them us the same basic frame--it wouldnt be that hard to do. hint hint.

Mr_Pieper

Okay. I have given up on my door transplant idea. It went horribly wrong and I almost lost a hand. Then I woke up for work.

How big is a VQ35?

BH-Factory

vq is huge. well its tall and barely fits in a z. plus there terriable motors for any major hp

brilliantblackrx8

really? the 350z guys would disagree on that

disagree with what? that they are huge or not great for making power?

brilliantblackrx8

They tend to be cocky about their cars... not defending them as I hate those pieces of ****.

Nissan is talking about a smaller RWD Z car to destroy the FRS/BRZ. It could be very interesting to the market if they do that and come out with a RWD Silvia replacement like they are talking about as well.

this would be awesome

That would be awesome. I'd love Nissan to come out with another inline 6 as well because they sound incredible.

But this a LSx thread

brilliantblackrx8

I think this is all part of that "DATSUN" name they keep talking about re-incarnating again. I hope they do bring back a car like the 240Z. Sorry, back to stuffing a huge chunk of aluminum in an RX8!

carrrnuttt

Both.

I used to be a VQ guy (Maxima), and the motor is relatively small for even its stock output. Also, up to 500WHP can be achieved without changing internals, as long as you tune properly. 300WHP with bolt-ons, tune and cams is no issue as well. 900WHP++, internally breathed-on examples are out there, except that VQ guys seem to be less interested in huge power compared to, say, Supra, F-Body and Mustang guys.

Blackbriar2189

You can get a lot of horsepower as long as you can pay for it. It takes a lot more money to get a vq to 500 whp than it does to get most ls motors to that point

carrrnuttt

I didn't think the argument included money, because then, we'd all just stick with Mustangs and Camaros. I thought the argument was whether it can develop the power relatively easily.

Blackbriar2189

Im just saying a lot of motors can handle a lot of horsepower if built correctly.

Edit: Most motors can safely handle at least a small turbo/sc upgrade before requiring the internals to be messed with.

BH-Factory

z guys complain all day long about how crappy those motors are. its not untill the rev up version when that block started getting good
