Single turbo or hybrid twins put you in the 600-800whp range. The N54 platform is a beast...
If "destroy" is dyno numbers or 1 highway pull or a fast 1/4 mile time slip, i agree with you n54.

If you need to track the car in the CA desert, you cant underestimate the supporting parts of f8x like cooling systems, brakes, suspension and rear diff

By the way OP, scott (bmw employee) on another thread claimed many internal ppl at bmw wanted e89 z4m with v8 but could not push the biz case through.

Be honest guys, if z4m cost same as gt4 or base 991, would you get z4?

I think (unfortunately) bmw had it right...
