Imports cars cost more to buy than domestic cars & the same goes for repairs....HELLO. Buying anything for an import will cost more than a domestic here state side pretty much.

Actually that would because there are fewers z's on the road then lets say mustangs, sti's, or hondas. therefore, the profit margins would have to be higher on the z's to offset the similar r&d costs that they would have on a mustang/wrx/etc... when u sell only 100 exhausts, u gotta make more money on each system. with mustangs u would sell 10,000 exhausts, so u could charge much less and make more. simple economics.

True.....so very true. Like where your heads at & it makes complete sense. An entry level Z is also a lot more expensive than the entry level cars that you mentioned up above.
