BTW, won't matter if the engine is 300HP or 400HP or somewhere between. With the Q60s, the gap between 300HP and 400HP is effectively closed with a tune. The 300HP motor can be brought right up to the RS 400HP motor with minimal money, and from there both engines tune up about the same.

There's quite a few people who are tuning 300HP Q50 and Q60's because the RS package can be much more money.
It'll have 400HP for sure. To be honest at this point I don't really see them offering a 300HP version ever. And also you have to realize that not everyone tunes their cars. In fact I'm sure a majority of buyers won't at all or at least until after the factory warranty is up.

Also is anyone else wondering why they aren't releasing ANY new info on the new Z since the Proto reveal? I've heard multiple car media sites say the car is expected Spring/Summer of this year. I know COVID delays and such but not even a test mule has been spotted anywhere. Perhaps they're having issues with the car in some capacity? At this rate I don't think we'll see it hit production until 2022.
