I'd say the odds of that happening might be related to what (if anything) Toyota does with their FT-1/theorized to be new Supra car.

If Toyota rolls out a N/A and a turbo version of a new Supra, like days of yore, I could see Nissan doing the same with the Z to compete.

If there's ever a new Supra, it will be 100K+ and a direct competitor with the GTR.

I don't see that happening. They'd have way too much catch-up to play in order to compete. The GT-R has gotten too good for Toyota to fight with at a competitive price point.

The LF-A can barely hold its own with the GT-R at three times the price, so I just don't see it.

It would make more sense for them to try and steal the Z or top tier Camaro/Mustang crowd. Even then, I suspect the price point will higher, but at least it would have a shot.
