2011 Mustang 5.0 Turbo

So a 22k to 25k base model that has a 4cyl turbo or small v6 with a 30k to 35k more powerful v6 or v8 would not increase sales accross the entire line? That would give people a reason not to buy a genesis turbo and more on the streets means more aftermarket parts being made. Sounds like a win all around.

I could see this working with the Infiniti G Coupes but not with the Z. The Z is far too specialized. The G coupe, like the Genesis, Mustang, etc. is still a practical car that appeals to a lot of people regardless of power plant.

The Z on the other hand is very specialized... it's a 2 seater... it sucks every day... you can't do much with it... It's like a Corvette in that regard...

I feel more choices spread across a platform reduce production costs and provides appeal to more customers. The 22k to 25k Z strikes right at the heart of the sky, soltice, S2000, and yes our favorite miata. I know they are all verts but they are also 2 seaters that people drive everyday. There is a market for it.

Haha... you won't have to do much striking since the sky, soltice, and S2000 have all been discontinued!

The sky and soltice were stopped only cause GM went broke not because people didn't buy them. And the S2000 ran it's course and there are always rumors of a replacement just like the z did took a break after the 300zx. So yes the entire car market shrank but that's why giving the z a wider selection could work and it fills the hole that those cars left.
