If you want a V8 go buy a Mustang. A v6tt or inline 6 tt would be far more fun and have much more tuning potential done right.

I assume you would take a 4000 pound car with a 600hp v8 over a 2700 pound car with a 420hp 4 cylinder?

The difference with those options is one corners and can go fast straight lines and one will not corner at all.

Yes. In fact, a 4.0L V8 is quite small compared to the V8s everyone else uses. And our VQs are about the same size as some V8s, and weight, especially if you are considering a TT V6. I agree that a turbo is easier for power adding, but a hi-reving V8 would be a lot of fun. Look at F1. 2.4L V8 revving to 19k RPM. Not saying it needs to be that extreme, but it would be fun to have an NA hi-revving motor.

I considered a Mustang. I bought the Z because it's lighter and was more affordable for the options.

You also assume incorrectly, and your sentence structure is suspect.

With the possible exception of 4-door rally cars, anything boxy with four doors is definitely not a traditional "sportscar".

The ISF is awesome... for a family car

2 doors, roadsters and coupes only, please

Seriously... I was on the market for a true coupe (ie 2 doors and 2 seats) and lets see what I could have got... Z, miata, lotus... okay nevemind I even asked that. Alfa Romeo not even in canadia nor could i afford one =(

in all honesty, i got the Z with full knowledge of its potentials, qualities, qweks, and draw backs. No other car is like it on the market, I like the design (tight waist wide hips) and the engine. There aren't any comparable engines out there. You cannot compare a FI'd engine to a NA engine because any FI'd car will have a higher output. But what would that engine do non-fi'd? What's the stress on the FI on the car? Will you get the same mileage before the heart goes? So many questions, not enough answers.

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate all cars.

those ultra-hyper revving engines need to be rebuilt after every race so i can't say that's too practical... but would be cool to see if they could push one out for the crowds
