With the Nismo GTR I feel like it is pushing the price barrier a bit to far now, when they first came out you got a lot for the price, and even today it is a good price for the performance at the standard level. The Nismo edition is just leagues above it but for 150k seems a stretch for the car now.

I agree. When the GTR first came out it was a huge bargin, but it has since climbed in price with the performance upgrades over the years. Honestly I'm okay with that but Nissan needs to bring something to the table that is between the Z and the GTR. Something in the 50-60k range that can bridge the gap for those who want more than the Z but doesn't or can't afford the GTR. I know personally I'm looking at a Z06 in the next year or two for my next car. While I do love the car out right it's also at the top of my list because there isn't much else out there anyway. The domestic brands are the only ones who have performance at almost every price range 20K-100K+. Japan is more in eco mode with focus on fuel while domestics are doing both fuel and performance options. Japan in general needs to step it up
