well i got my Z so am ok, but its not just the "out of the box" numbers that matter here. DI is more tuneable by far, mod for mod it will squueze out a little more HP than non DI...once you do they math on a full bolt on and tuned Z, its a very significant.

Cadillac has a DI and NON DI CTS, with that bieng the only diff, offered same year...one makes 304hp 274tq, the non DI make like 264hp and 250ish tq....

30HP more or less is about right I think. When the Cayman S got DI it saw similar gains. It doesn't sound like much at first but that's right around the same gains from a VQ35DE to VQ37HR.

I'm not trying to stir the pot here, I'll still love my car, but it will personally bother me a bit.
