If it wasn't a rice mobile the Z would not have been in every fast movie to date.
You can get options touring for 32k if the dealer wants to sell it for that much. They are talking msrp.
Lastly, I doubt the price drop will be gencoupe 3.8 rspec low. That car is 27k with brembos. I'm sure 30k is the lowest they will drop it.

Unknown, I know you're on pain meds dude, so I'll be gentle, but my insurance went DOWN from an Audi S4 to the Z. I also think the boy racer stigma has more to do with the amount of cars modded in that particular style, as well as being performance model variants of commuter or econo cars. The current Z has no downmarket variant, it is essentially an automotive one-off, the closest thing to it in house being the G37. The Evo has it roots in the humble Lancer, STi same story. I could on and on with examples, but I think that has far more to do with the boy racer stigma than it's build location. Not to mention cars like the Dodge SRT4, which are about as heavy on boy racer/ricer image as you can get, despite being American.
