Well. SS mag is a honda and 300zx loving mag. And by honda, they praise the vtec of the motor. Vtec allows the 2nd cam lobe to take over at high rpms, so that the horsepower isn't lost at the end of the rpm band. Sure, the KA can get to the max hp faster by sheer torque, but at high end, our car's lose it. And honda vtec doesn't.
So in a stupid magazine that has little love for Nissan, 180 hp and 130 ft-lbs of torque are great (type-R). But in a real world, I'd take the torqueor our KA.
