I say option 1 based on the engine itself. if we get a boosted V6 from factory it opens up more possibilities for power where slight tweaks or a tune can make the factor of not shedding weight irrelevant.
look at the tenability of a GT-R or BMW 335. couple breathers and a tune and you're gaining 100WHP most cases.
the problem with boost and the current Z is that we're boosting a factory N/A motor. usually never ends well. but a boosted factory motor would be nice to play with and help us in the long run.
if Nissan builds a block as solid as the GT-R's for the Z it'll have great potential.
