330hp detuned could push 380-450hp tuned by Nissan. If the next Z is 3100-3200lbs with this kind of power? It will be insane.
What I also like about the Benz engine is that it produces significantly more torque than the VQ.
Out with the old. in with the new, im excited. My gut feeling is Nissan will reclaim it's thrown.
