and i like how u say the gtr is the only car worth buying. thats like saying, well living in the midwest is fine, but if u really cared u would live in the hamptons. I cant afford a $100k gtr!

same logic u used with the porsches. they are GREAT cars. but the only 911 u can get in for the same price as a z is like 2003 996 or u could get a higher mileage cayman s. i should tell all the true sports car guys out there in z06's or m3's that they are ONLY allowed in 911's per your advise.

so my question is, if the gtr is the only car worth buying... why are u sitting here in a z...?

The first model would steal FRS buyers who want more power, and offer an alternative to the Mustang V6 buyers. The second model competes directly with the Mustang GT, and might steal a few Vette buyers.
Nissan doesn't have generic materials in there cars so $26k is a no go. I see about $31k for a turbo 3.0 and about $40k for a turbo Z that would more rival the corvette as did with the Z32. These would be starting prices, and turbo's would make them cheap to mod so people would be willing to spend more. But knowing Nissan. It's more realistic to have one NA and one FI. I don't see two FI's at all. If anything, its one turbo and one NA hybrid.
