This isn't to say that the N54 is the absolute successor nor am I saying that the N54 is superior to the 2JZ. In fact, I don't think the N54 will live up to the legend that the 2JZ is romanticized for. I'll repeat, what other motor out there will you name as the most worthy successor?

I guess my point is that it isn't THAT ridiculous to argue a case for the N54.

(I own an N55 so no bias here.)
I think the most similar to the 2j, today, would be the s55. Will also go down as an all time great i6, things make stupid power.
