Now back to the point at hand, also comparatively speaking, your comparing a Flat 6 against a V6, two completely different configurations, one built for efficiency and power equally, and one strictly for all out speed applications. Case in point the VQ, excellent power while having decent fuel economy. The GT3 is a race bred car, and thats it. So to say that 332bhp for a V6 is bad, i'd say you are terribly misguided sir.

n54 - 100hp/liter

vq - 89hp/liter

You can argue NA, but the VQ is quite a bit larger. Big advantage up top. While the n54 starts losing power, the VQ really starts grunting.
