We're not just talking a straight carryover into the G are we? Only way I can imagine it is with a "tuned" V8, which will of course rev higher and maybe add another 50-60hp. (while we're at it, why not a round 400hp?)

Re: G45, Why not?
i guess u could just by the V8 fromt he FX45 and drop it in a G then simple advance the timing a little and then u are talking about one really fast G it would only cost a little bit more then a good turbo set up. But once u get into engine swamping u might as well go all the way and pop in a V12

Re: G45, Why not?
I don't see how they could fit a V-8 in the G35C's engine compartment. The V-6 is really tight in there as it is. The V-8 is longer by several inches, and I don't see where you've got several extra inches to work with. I'm sure it could be done, but its certainly not a 'drop in' job. I think they're better off with a twin turbo setup on the V-6 if they want to creat a really hot version of the coupe. And they could do it to the 350Z at the same time.
