Ford didn't develop the engine? In that case, I assume you understand that 4valves per cylinder and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust didn't originate in the 370Z, correct?

From the WIKI:

The first variable valve timing systems came into existence in the nineteenth century on steam engines. Stephenson valve gear, as used on early steam locomotives, supported variable cutoff, that is, changes to the time at which the admission of steam to the cylinders is cut off during the power stroke.

DAMM those nissan engineers for ripping off our steam technology!!!!!
