As far as having three engine levels for the Z. Let me first say that I don't prefer that from a customer perspective. I think it dilutes the Z as you'll have a shitload of people buying the cheap 4 version and end up seeing them all over the road like you do mustangs. If it was needed to keep the Z a sports car then it is what it is and I'm really not sure why you think it wouldn't work from a "business" perspective? Why couldn't these engines be shared across their vehicle lineup exactly? A 4 banger, NA v6, and turbo v6 are not exactly exotic. These aren't v10s here.
