(In the USA). Budgets are WAY different. Nissan acts like the z is a bastard child while Chevy shows its pride for its baby. That's the difference.


Ps I love my little fat bastard z ...
I can agree with that. But if they're supposedly trying to make Nismo a more official tuner brand as they stated... They are going to have to spend a Lil money. Nissan profits have been through the roof since 2010. I think it's less about money and more about Carlos Ghosn not being a sports car enthusiast. He inherited a pre-production Z, he didn't push for its success.
