I would even be satisfied with a decent appearance package. It worked for the 40th.
The offering for the 50th is an insult to the car and the owners all the way back to 1970.

Although a bump in power would directly compete with the NISMO, having a limited run with significant changes would attract enthusiasts, rejuvenate interest and wouldn't infringe on the NISMO in the long run. And let's face it, sales are down, including the NISMO.

I don't disagree. I was looking at it from Nissan's POV.
If I were going to bump power, I would start with the NISMO add all of the bolt-ons. Really max out the NA spec. I think tooling to do a one-off, forced induction, short-run factory product would be cost prohibitive, but I've been wrong before...
