.....

the mustang GT and camaro v8 are cheaper than the Z...

for the price of a NISMo you can get a boss 302...

when the z moves up market from where it is now, it wont be in the same price bracket as those cars.

if the Z moves up to that price bracket i honestly expect the next Z to be as good or better than a porsche in terms of interior/exterior quality, power and handling although i have to admit it does that pretty well even now lol

I agree, it def would need to have materials/build quality equal to say the '09-'11 GTR wiht great styling to match that price point. And of course some balls in the performance dept and track worthy out of the box. They can totally do it if they really want to. If this juke based sports coupe does come out, there's no reason not to. Also, they could have some extra trim levels to have a nice price point spread from base Z (40K) all the way up to nismo RC trim (55-58K).

If you think about it they dont need to do much to compete with a vette mechanically.

- Rear mounted transmission for weight distribution
- Either a turbo VQ or the 5.6 L v8
- Lower center of gravity

This can be done at the base vette price point however the new Stingray vette will be VERY hard to beat considering all the technology they are putting in that thing! 450HP/450lbs/ft and 30 mpg highway...Not to mention the suspension O_o

Was there a 3.8 before the GTR. All engines start somewhere and nissan has been slowly going up in displacement since the start. Why would they go away from a very successful sports car line up to switch to something new before testing it out.

Bad economy and record high gas prices?

It's not "inflation" as much as it is a strong yen versus the dollar. Everything being exported out of Japan right now is pretty expensive. This is extremely apparent in the sportbike market, where bikes that were 8.5k 10 years ago now sell for closer to 13.5k.

Because of this, sportbikes coming out of Europe (Germany/Italy) while historically more expensive than their Japanese couterparts, are now in the same price range.

Japan is worried about the strong yen, and they have every right to be.

Here's an article about it.
