Look at what Porsche has done. They started with a '99 911 with an NA 3.4 at 295BHP and now are at 3.8 with 385BHP and 435BHP respectively on the GT3. They have stuck with and continued to develop and improve on the same NA, flat6 block.
M division had a masterpiece with the 3.2 liter I6 putting out 330BHP. Had they continued along the same path, they would have an NA, 6 cylinder 3.6 or 3.8 liter putting out around 400BHP.
Instead they cut corners by using (the no doubt marvelous) 4.0 V8, but now they have to back track and go back to the 6 and simply throw Turbo's on it.
I don't like the smell of this, at all....
