The V8 really is where it's at. There are a lot of great engines, but the old cam-in-block V8 continues to be near or on the top of the heap when it comes to power/weight ratio.
But if you look at the trends recently, IC, a lot of companies are going with turbos, even BMW. Mostly because they can inflate performance numbers and mpg's at the same time. So, if anything, I could see Nissan going that way with the VQ. Don't know if they can get 375-400 out of it.
