If they chopped about 500 lbs off the weight, they could get by very nicely
with about a 250-hp normally-aspirated V6. It might not keep up with the
Honda even then, but the torque might make up the difference in real-world
terms. The Z has always been a 6-cylinder. If it ain't gonna be a 6, name
it something else!
