Its prolly gonna have to be 55k, at least as an msrp. I can see a nismo being subsidized down to $51k. But only cuz of the competition. Remember, you still will have a 400ho Z at under 40k. Its more hp than the supra for 10k less. But nissan has to sell the nismo higher. Rumor has it a nismo could be between 450 n 500 hp? So that may be an incentive if rumor pulls true?
The c8 and Z comparison isn't the best comparison cuz its attracting 2 sides of the enthusiast world.
Price comparison does have some legitimacy. But having a Supra n Z out is like having a mustang n camaro. A lot of people will be in it for that 90's heritage. If mazda does an rx or whatever with that inline 6. Its gonna be JDM wars all over again. And I think a lot of guys between 35 n 55 are looking for a JDM WAR 2.
The next gen GTR, 86 and wax all coming soon too. Japan may have a small comeback.
The corvette has no price competition. It battles cars above its weight class. And there will be a market for those guys too.
The real question is... can these cars bring the culture back? Or these beta male soy boy pansies are gonna destroy the culture with hybrids n EV's? Im just glad sports cars aren't dead... yet!!!
