Sure, but none of it changes the fact that the 370Z can be had with 332hp for $30k as you say.
Maybe they put a B58 in the $40k-ish model, and there is an B48 in an even lower priced $30k-ish model. Then they could do the Nismo trick Nissan does and have a top end B58 powered model at $50k-ish.
If ynguldyn says there's a B48, its probably going to happen. He's been correctly predicting engines for over five years now. Its no accident he gets stuff right so often - he has access to proprietary data/info.
I feel like there is a lot of bet hedging going on with the car that originates from what people want it to be vis-a-vis the original vs. what it is likely to be based on the fact that in many ways, at the end of the day, its a Z4 in coupe form with Toyota sheetmetal stretched over it.
