Yes, the engine is nice, but BMW did that back in 2003. Porsche gets over 400 from their 6-banger, BMW just evolved in a different direction is all.

Still, it's a 332bhp engine. Who cares how wonderfully it's crafted? Its not the most reliable, and it is behind the times in the power department for the car it's in. I guess if you just want to look at it/stare at spread-sheets, that's fine. Appreciate it for the work of art that it is. I am more interested in how the car feels when I floor it.

Nevermind man...

Porsche has a FLAT 6. Very different and more suitable to making power when compared to V or I 6's. What nissan has done IS amazing.

Read up more on BMW, you will see why they changed direction. They needed to step up to the 8 to be more competitive. The I6 in the E46 was the best they could do (CSL notwithstanding).

It is not behind the times in terms of power. The Z is NOT a mucscle car. It is a sports car. As such it is right there with the TT RS, Cayman/Cayman S/1 M coupe/Genesis, etc.

And how do you know the VQ37VHR is not reliable? I could say the same about the Z06's engine. I have 'read' a few thread about their engines going kaboom. I guess the few stories I have read makes it true. Same with the RX8. People that did not know how to care for a Rotary and needed engine replacements made the engne unreliable. I never had any problems from mine.

Enjoy whatever ride makes you smile and do not knock others.

Do not be a hater, but then again.... Haters will hate.
