I like the boxy design of the R34 a lot more..but that's just me. It does look pretty nice though.

The going speculation is the VQ engine found in the 350Z/G35 but with a reduction in displacemnt to around 3.2-3.3L and strengthened internals to allow it to spin to high rpms (7-8K) under boost.

Not sure yet. The new 997 Carrera has been released but the old 996 Turbo is still being sold (which has 415hp). The 997 Turbo should be released in the next year or so - not sure how much more power it will have.

I have heard it is a 450hp twin turbocharged VQ engine bored to 4.2ls.

Turbocharged licks or N/A ?

450 tubocharged or 350 N/A... Sorry Tom (TomsSVX) but is seems that N/A is more efficient than Turbocharged...
