the GTR is a spectactular machine, not because of its engine. its the combination of its engine, transmission, suspension, chassis...etc. the entire package is what makes the car so beastly. not its engine. only a fool would try to swap a GTR engine into a Z.
The GTR engine is far superior to our engine though. Besides the solid-ass bottom end, the engine has actually been designed with boost in mind, rather than in pulling a few more NA horses from an old design.
