Message	Everything is going smaller (cylinder-wise) now, and putting a V8 on that platform would create an internal competition for the GTR. I don't see a MB engine in a Z mostly because they don't have anything good in that segment... By good, I mean a medium sized 6 cylinder with high potential for tuning. Or, maybe I'm wrong? Someone tell me.
