People don't take into account the body bracing in the Nismo that costs at least $3,500 on its own.

The Nismo exhaust which adds at least $800 to the cost.

The Nismo tuned suspension that probably adds an extra $800 as well

The RECARO seats which adds at least $2,000 to the cost.

Though Nissan an drive down the price on the outdated units value. Well say it adds an extra $500... So there's about $7,100 in extras in the nismo.

So we'lol say $34,000 + 7,000 = $41,000

Add the automatic and you get $42,200

Then add the body kit updating. $2,000

$44,000

I'm sure you can shop dealership and make $42,000 the beginning price point and try to keep it under the $44,000
price point. Nissan could've retextured some plastics in the car though. To me, that's where they went the most wrong over time aside from the atrocious base radio...

But I think some people just expect the Z to be FR-S prices... Fvck nooo!

And yeah... I'd buy a $60,000 Z at 450HP, $3,000/3,100lbs & DCT or even a super-tuned 7AT rated 200HP over it's output.

That's close to the beastly numbers off the 2008 GT-R with 700.800lbs less weight and RWD!!!!*

WHHHHHHUUUUUUT!!!!!!????????????

IM IN THERE!!!

No other company would have a sports car like that for the money. And Nissan is awesome for being Niche in that way...

Definitely would be a great corvette alternative.
