The best engine in the world, the RB26DETT,[/sarcasm] is over 15 years old. The JZ motors are 14 years old.Production dates - in terms of development dates they are even older.

The RB series were an improvement over the L series, the JZ were an improvement over the M series.

Now the VQ series craps all over the RB series as do the GR series over the JZ.

Everytime I see a 350Z with the beautiful VQ35DE being turfed in favor of the rattly old RB26DETT, I feel dumber.

Comments regarding smoothness of V6 engines might apply for chalf cutters like the Buick and Capri V6s (the roots of which date back to the 50's), but not for these modern beautifully engineered V6s.

It's called progress fellas. Get on the train. It's leaving the station. Laughing
