The GTR doesn't need to be any more expensive, remeber, not matter what the Z gets, the GTR still will have the DCT, awd, crazy good factory brakes, and all the high tech computer gizmos, adjustable suspension etc--our hypothetical Z won't get that stuff. \
It's really two different markets. Remember, the guys shopping for the GTR and also cross shopping, ZR1's, Vipers, GT3's, 911tt's. They're not considering mustang GT's, GT500's, Z's, camaro SS's etc.
As long as our "track Z car" can stay under 55K and stay manual trans and rwd, it won't match the GTR's performance but will come in nicely between the stnd Z and the GTR. I'm thinking a limited production type car, maybe 500 per year or so. Would have to have a numbered plaque too.
