I fully believe that the NISMO should be around $50k with a TT setup.
I suspect they would make the TT an option, like they did with the 280zx and 300zx(es). It does beg the question as to whether there is a market for both versions though, and whether development would be profitable. I mean what market/competition would a 50k 380z be in? That risks repeating the mistakes of the last gen 300zx. From what I can figure, a 1990 TT cost about 32k which is ~52k today. By 1995 it was closer to 43.5K (61K today).
