More importantly; who would buy it??? How big do you think the $60-$70K+ sports car market is?

who would buy what is the question...
folks expecting to pay mid to upper 40's , approaching 50k for a vette .. say.. would consider a 370z with 400hp or thereabouts, produced by a sc or turbos, without all the doo-dads of the GTR (which price-wise competes with the z06).
such a car would fill a niche between the 370z current versions and the GTR and what with GM being run by the gubment would give chevy a run for their money with vettes... and prolly pull some camaro ss folks in to a slightly higher range...
and get me off the fence too since i want vette power in a z type car.
to me the nismo is a dressed up z with little or no performance based redeeming value.. and for me its all about performance and zilich about the bling..
