From a marketing perspective, I agree with most everyone here that Nissan has to do something for the Z to survive (unless they just keep it like a phantom limb like the RX8).

It doesn't have to be more power or better handling, either. It could be something tech savvy or aesthetically pleasing. They just can't rest on their laurels anymore. It doesn't best its rivals at the track and has only two seats.

I agree to a point... most people, buy the Z to drive (not to race). So saying it loses at the track is a moot point, really. But Nissan does need to do a little more tech-savy "stuff" to the ride to catch up with competitors.

Yes but a lot of people buy it because of its performance. If it's performance can not match up with it's competitors then it will lose a lot of sales because it it. Not saying everyone is like that, but a lot of people look at that when deciding what car to buy.

Agreed.... BUT.... dollar for dollar(?) The Z has great value.

The V6 mustang matches most of it's performance numbers on the track, or comes very close. That's not okay.

That might be true but in order to drive a mustang w a v6 you need breasts and some other female specific parts.

You're right. However, I fail to see how your car comparing with a teenage girl-mobile on the track stock for stock reassures you.

I dont need reassurance, I dont, worry about v6 Mustangs. Its funny when you make a little joke on here and people get all pissy.
