In my opinion, the Z should have came with a V8 from the factory right from the get go. Leave the Twin Turbo in Japan and just offered it with the VH45DE right from the get go. Those who wanted a TT would have had to import one, just like the guys that want SR20DETs.
I think it would have made more sense from a marketing perspective, after all, this is the land of muscle. The only problem is it would have made the average US buyer lump it together with the Corvette. But even then, the VH could have competed with the LT1 all day long.
