If the Z was 3,000lbs even, 380hp v6TT with as many tech features as the new Camaro. I can see that starting at $40,000 even. With a 2+2 option a la Z32 for $43,000. I think it will sell.
Make a NISMO version, with the Mercedes speed shift DCT, 440hp and a weight of 3100lbs, for $50,000 loaded? I think it will sell.
Nissan and Mercedes already said any pure sports entries into the market will have hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Giving Nissan/Mercedes the edge of being drivers cars as they will be the ONLY modern production sports cars to give drivers REAL FEEDBACK outside of Alfa.
The C63S sedan beat out the M4 and ATS-V as being the best drivers car of the sport sedan segment. Bringing the feedback into cars again will be worth the extra coin.
The AMG GTS also being touted as one of the best drivers cars outside of the Alfa 4c. Nissan just needs to execute it perfectly...

well from what the guy told me, it won't be lighter. it's going to stay at around 3,300 as what it is now (for the base).
when the price starts getting high it starts to get into other car territories. you can find used gtr's for 50k now. you can get a nice used z06 for 45-50k... i know these are used cars and not new, but when you get into that price range, the amount of "faster" cars you can get begin to go up.
i honestly don't think there are that many true z enthusiasts that can support the car if it went to mid 40s to 50k.
nissans goal is to sell as many units as they can.
