I agree but..... It is amazing the gap Nissan has in their sports cars. I mean a Nismo Z is 45k and a gtr is 100k. I am sure if they had a 52 to 55k Z that had a V6 turbo option say 3.0 liter single turbo 375hp as an example it wouldn't step on the gtr as that's a whole different beast.
A V6 turbo is obviously what everyone wants so a V6 natural as pirated and a turbo version like they had in the 90s would be great but the big picture besides engine choice is serious weight savings.
I am on board for a 4 cylinder turbo if the weight is 2850 pounds or less and power is mid 300s. Just use as an example my wife had a V6 sonata with 235hp and got 30mpg we traded in for a 2012 sonata 4 cylinder turbo with direct injection 275hp that gets 35mpg and has more torque and is much faster.... just saying sometimes a 4 cylinder turbo is a better engine in all departments
