A $2,600 sticker

Bay Area Z

This probably comes from tight budgeting constraints. I seriously doubt the Z staff are content with this release. But they probably did the best they could with the extremely limited freedom they had.

The meeting probably went something like this:
"Alright team. It's the 50th anniversary of the Z. Let's celebrate with a commemorative edition! Ideas?"

(Various ideas are shared)

"Thank you for the input. I forgot to mention, the finance team graciously allocated $50 to make this special Z happen."

It's not the worst deal if you insist on a new Z, but don't want a Nismo.
