I agree, but the post that I quoted said $60k for 400hp was not a lot - no other factors were mentioned.

All good. I cross-shopped both cars before I got the Z so I took it a little personal. A lot of posters on here think that car is the answer to everything.

That being said I think $60k defeats the purpose of an affordable sports car that the Z stands for. Maybe I could see it if they go with the rumoured 2 engine choices and you max out the more expensive one with all the bells and whistles. Still doesn't make much sense to me though.

It's compared a lot because it's close competition, close in price and 100 more hp but in a Mustang

I would never spend $60k on a Z, no matter how many bells and whistles it has. I'd rather take a Cayman S ($64k) with zero options than a loaded Z at $60k.

The bolded part is why I chose the Z.

I'd never purchase a brand new vehicle anyway. Don't see the point in driving off the lot and losing a couple grand in a matter of minutes. Used all day.

If Nissan did what the Americans do (GT500,ZL1,Hellcat) id buy a 60K Z. Call it a Nismo RS with 600 HP, Warranty, yup sign me up.

Geez. Paid $28k for a 2015 base and my reasoning was that it was an exceptional value and fun to drive. $60k? I'd get a vette for less.
