You mean you can't fathom Nissan doing exactly what Porsche did? Same 0-60s and 1/4 but the Cayman is overall a better track car at 75% of the price.
718 Cayman S PDK starting 69.5K
991.2 Carerra PDK starting 92.6K

And that's for EXACT SAME performance! A more accurate comparison would be below. Which means the Cayman is 44% the price of the 911 Turbo (same speed as a GTR), for a competitive sports car.
718 Cayman S PDK starting 69.5K
991.2 Carerra Turbo PDK starting 159.2K


Now lets see how that translates to Nissan.
GTR starts at 109k, so 44% of that is starting at $48k for a Z that would be a step up from where it is now, a competitive sports car, and still leaves market for the exclusive GTR.

In addition, this would make the Z competitive with the Cayman, F Type, and BMW Z.

Hey now.. I'll tune my Porsche lol. But you've been spot on with your comments man. As stated above, making the Z faster and lighter will also make it more competitive with the 'luxury sports'.
