What a deal
Way better performance than a base M2 G87
?
Just goes to show how clueless they've been pricing this thing from the start. The fact that someone is probably going to end up paying $100k+ for a new Nissan not called GT-R is mind boggling. Hope no one already did that with the Proto. Even at $65k they'll be second guessing their purchase after crossing paths with a 3.0 MkV or G87.

I mean.......the same can be said about my decision to purchase an M4 vs. C8, or someone's decision to go MKV instead of a 2024 Mustang GT, or M2 instead of Dark Horse. It shouldn't be mind boggling. People buy what they want. Not your money, not mind boggling.

On that point, I think a lot of new MKV owners will second guess their purchase after running into a 10spd 2024 GT this year ?

I can find advantages to every other car you named except for the Z, that's all. And I've owned multiple Z's. I'm not telling anyone how to spend their $ but I'm allowed to think they're nuts for doing so and vice-versa. Personally I understand G82 over C8 and MkV/G87 over Dark Horse but not everyone will. Different strokes for different folks. Just like what one person finds mind boggling another person doesn't ;)

Highly doubtful

I actually crossed paths with a 2024 GT the other night on the highway (there's been a few in the Metro Detroit area). He didn't speed up or anything, but I did pass him in the left lane, so I'm calling it a win.

Oh, hit the nail right in the head. Just like I said before, roughly 65k for another version of this outdated, underachieving POS.

It looks... fine. I don't like the exterior nearly as much as the S550. It kind of has these blocky proportions from the side view angles (very similar to a Camaro). It looks a bit more muscle car and a bit less sports car to me this time around.
