Why would nissan want the z (a true sports car) to start competing with cheaper/ slower sports coupes...? Frs/brz , genesis, mustang, camaro are all sports coupes. The reason there are so many is because people buy the cheaper option ones that arent even "sporty" whats the ratio of v-6 mustangs to the gt mustangs?

Sports coupes will always outsell 2 seaters because they are more daily friendly and practical. The z will compete with sports cars like base corvette , bmw z4, audi tt, porsche boxster/cayman. Besides the vette those cars are relatively low volume csrs like the z. They market the car as you get equal or greater performance for 50-75% of the the cost.

Therefore nissan is smart enough to keep the z where it is and improve its performance with trubo and/or direct injection & weight reduction; while developing either a mini z or sylvia to compete with frs/brz, v-6 mustangs/camaros, and 2.0t genesis.
