No, it won't. In fact I can't see it being anywhere near the base GTR. If they bumped the HP and added suspension packages on the current platform, it still won't take it to $100,000. A loaded 2015 Nismo is just shy of $50k, it won't cost an additional $50k to added some performance upgrades. The Z, in my opinion, should be in the $40-$60k range and compete with the corvette, like the Z32 did. That's my hope for the Z35. Who knows.

Note that I'm not saying the current platform is worth $60k, I'm saying the new one should go upmarket.
