The Z car is not Nissan's halo car like the GT-R. The Z32TT was, back when JDM cars like the Skyline GT-R weren't marketed in the U.S. But the Z32 TT's price reflected its "halo car" status, and Nissan and the other Japanese car manufacturers saw the waning market for twin turbo sports cars and had to pull out.
The Z was originally meant to be a cheaper alternative to the Vette and more in the same league as the Camaro or Mustang or any 2-seat affordable sports car. Nissan is returning to that mission. And I doubt Nissan will ever make the Z the halo, monster sports car it once was like the Z32 TT.
I still pine for the Z32 TT.
