1) Those two motors exist with Infiniti. Wouldn't have to retool anything. Focus on reducing weight. Makes business sense.
2) If those two motors came through with the Z brand and followed similar pricing structure of the 370 (starting $30k, premium model $42k), you can have your bargain sports car at the bottom and premium, high performance version at the top, and both of which would be extremely compelling alternatives to the current offering of sports cars in the same pricing category.
It makes complete sense, especially when you consider the torque curve of each motor - both of those motors provide increased performance potential stock-for-stock when compared to the VQ37.
