Yes, that was the whole reason why I was suggesting Nissan has to go with either a v8 or an F.I. v6 for more power. There'll be a point where it's inefficient to use an NA v6 for their power goals. Plus, you can't replicate the feel or sound of a v8. Not saying the 370z doesn't sound good, IT DOES! But you're bonkers if you think the VQ37 sounds better than ANY LSX engine...

BMW went the right direction with the m3. Now they just need to start going in a new direction with the price
