Sorry, but the Z is not exclusive. Exclusive implies that there are some sort of barriers to entry. The Z is no more or less expensive than a similarly optioned Mustang or Camaro.

First I threw up in my mouth when I heard "Exclusive" again. Then I wrote you this big...

Thank You!!!

Now you're being more specific. The original post is somewhat misleading.

Expect the Z/28 option list to be very short...

Wasn't trying to be misleading. The point stands on its own with the fact that GM, the ones who build these motors, chose to boost the LS3 over the LS7. I am not saying it can't be done and once the build goes from mild to wild that certain precautions will have to take place to ensure some sort of reliability. Similar to the VQ. At some point the stock internals will not be able to handle the load placed on it and things will go wrong. As said there are builds on the LS7 in the 700-800hp range with no reported issues. Wasn't trying to make this a debate. You can boost anything with enough money.

you're telling me that any ordinary joe with decent credit could walk up and buy one? I find that doubtful. I had to show that I'd owned three Z's previously as well as demonstrate that I had 20,000 posts on a Nissan forum before they let me purchase mine.

You're lucky they didn't make you walk the highwire over a den of lions to attain your Z. This thing is so "Exclusive."

I had never financed a car before in my life. C6 Z06 was my first vehicle I financed. Bought it new for my 25 birthday present from me to myself. I paid 5% interest. Not bad for a first car/never owned a house. When I bought my 370z (traded) a little over a year later, they didn't even run my credit. 3.2% interest for 72mo on this one. Obtaining financing for things you honestly can afford is pie if you've not made many stupid errors or your true/full income is not provable (waiter/bartender).

your sarcasm meter may need re-calibrating.

Seems like they Camaro'd the Corvette's taillights and unCamaro'd the Camaro's taillights

I like the rear quarter view. Different strokes... It's the power dome on the hood I struggle with.
