I would rather have a high revving 4 cylinder turbo. Have you ever driven a 400+hp Mitsu evo well if you havent then its hard to explain that its much more powerful then you would think for hp and torque? Ive driven a 400 hp mustang v8 and personally its not my thing...Felt like a lowered truck
The best option keeping a good power to weoght ratio is a 6 cyl turbo or 4 cylinder turbo. A v8 doesnt belong in the next Z. They are focusing on lightweight performance and a v8 unless used magnesium and aluminum and spending an arm and a leg to keep a big block lightweight it shouldn't and wont happen for a very good reason.
Remember if the Z is created it will be more like a scion frs size. If a front engine car that size had a v8 the front to back weight ratio would be horrible for cornering. Like 65 front 35 rear
