It was always a shame that the V6 had such a low boosted output; compared to what the old T could do.
It's crazy how far things have come now; a 1.8triple with a reputed 250+(the new gazoo yaris is supposed to be capable of a lot beyond the 210 book figure) & the 1.5 triple St in the ST at 200bhp out the factory.
I do feel a bit of a dinosaur with 5.0 nasp and "only" 400bhp; but when you consider the 4.0 used in the V8 75/ST was only 260 (though admittedly in low tune form) our drive to get the most our of the dead dino's it really quite impressive!
One question/worry I'd have is would making the ZS a v8 lose that sweet spot in regards to the handling/drive?
