The weird thing is that the replacement for the Modena later on will be call a Monza, what is this a pizza place.

Customer to dealer: i want a Monza to go.

With only 20HP more out of 4.0 liters, I think they're taking an S2000 approach and boring it more for torque than horsepower. While the ~270 lb.-ft. of torque that the Modena has as is ain't shabby, more torque will allow for easier driving in most circumstances.

Monza--not only is it a pizza place, it's also a big huge track where the F1 Italian Grand Prix is held.
