So when the engines shrunk they should have shrunk the number and made awkward names in the process. And they have had inaccurate numbers in the past, 335 for a 3 year run was just the better tuned 3.0 same engine just different tune. So it's only a problem if you somehow think the badge on the back advertised how cool you are.
