Yes I understand that. I know that the Mustang and Camaro are preparing pretty substantial upgrades for their next generations and the Z needs to do the same. You can say that they're different cars all you want, but in the real world they are cross shopped all the time and selling cars is a business. If the Z gets left far behind in performance, it will become irrelevant to a lot of consumers. You have to keep in mind that the majority of people who buy these cars are not Z enthusiasts like you and I. A good bunch of them are probably not even car enthusiasts, but just bought it because it looked cool. If the Z becomes irrelevant to the majority of consumers and doesn't sell then Nissan will stop making it.
