How is that? Have you seen what the Evo's WRX can do. Yes their flat four but that doesn't make much difference with today's technology plus most likely they will be adding direct fuel injection.

dude... my 98 GSX was making over 380awhp on a stock block and I spent less then 3k.. I agree with you 100%

and last time I checked small displacement v-8s were making upwards of 700hp with FI

Thank you for proving my point exactly. The Z's engine can make 500+ whp on stock block and small displacement v-8s can easily do 700. It will take a seriously built 4 banger to put up those kind of numbers and I am skeptical it would even be possible on pump gas.

You make the same mods on a bigger engine and you'd have more power.

edit:
A 2.8L-3.0L v-8 in our Zs would get me excited. If they downgrade to 4-banger I won't be purchasing the next model

they won't put a I4 in a z...

they would designate that the new silvia... no way nissan is dumb enough to do that..

but what do you need MORE then 700whp for? I mean really?

and personally a v6 is just fine

yea a v6 is fine, a 3.0l turboed v-6 would be pretty cool. Just please nissan don't go for a 4-banger!
