Z35 motor theory

Now, back on topic I wish I could get some intel on the next Z but I'll speculate with the best of them. The next gen GTR will have a new engine producing 800hp. That leaves this motor as a left over that could be shoved into the Z35.

Yeah... better stock exhaust note. Oh yeah, and I want those red Recaros out of the '15 Nismo. That would be $$$.
