There are guys pushing more through VQ's than any RB. Just gotta address a few issues with internals. There are sleepers with 1250rwhp being used as semi daily drivers. Not to mention the local drag guys pushing 1800rwhp+ boost alone through sleeved blocks.

Just offering an alternative to an expensive to build RB30.

I, personally, WILL own a R35 GTR. It's not a question. Just a matter of time. As much as I love the JZ family, I'm a VQ wh0o0re.

I'd have to say the clk63 Amg black series, but a e92 335i 6mt chipped is probably more realistic

since when did r35's have vq's?

for me, in my dreams, c33 laurel to drop in a vq35hr, z20 soarer to drop in anything other than what it came stock with.
more realistically, '04-'05 s2k, any color other than suzuka.

Im down with the CLK63 Black Series. They ar a fun car right out of the box.
I dont know if they will ever depreciate to the sub $40K Range.They seem to retain there value.

Any V12 Mercedes will hurt the pocket book. Coil Packs are $1k each. Be sure to get a warranty.

My next ride is prob a Sierra 2500HD or a Range Rover Sport.
I cant see getting rid of my SC

Always have.
The VR is an updated VQ. The majority of the motor is a direct interchange with older gen VQ's.

depends on what i do. buy a crappy beater then i will be buying a mkIV, or i will buy something newer. not sure what i would get, maybe a genesis. lots of power made from throwing a twin turbo kit on the v6 ones.

I used to doubt those Genesis untill I took a ride in one, WOW, it was a shocker...

If I had the money I would definitely go with the CLK63 Range Rover sport will also put a dent in the pocket book, BUT, that would be the only SUV that interests me

CLK63 AMG Ive yet to see one in person. Havent been to South Beach in a while

NSX is a good choice. I havent seen one on the road in a few years.
