Well, many of us probably can't afford it if the Z is a borderline exotics like the 2nd generation NSX or even the 1st generation which cost around $90k in 2005.

Who cares what the Z compares to. Most of us have a budget and get whatever is best for us.

Personally I am glad that Nissan made the Z affordable for us.

I remember the 90-91 Twin Turbo Z was in comparison with dam near every high performance car on the market, Corvette, NSX, Ferrari 360, Supra, 911 Turbo ect. Now it's in the company of a Hyundai Genesis, BRZ, WRX/STI, Golf GTI, 335i ect. Sad thing is this......... Both the Supra and NSX will reamerge soon and they'll be nothing short of borderline exotics and that's where the Z should be. Of course the GTR is in its place, but the Z was a solid contender at one point up in those ranks and as much as I love it, it needs to be in comparison with at least the M4, C63, RS5, C7 the new RC-F. Just my opinion.
