I agree about the price point. I remember in 1990 or there about checking out a twin turbo Z on the lot and, if my memory still serves me correctly, I believe it was about $41K. That is 17 years ago. $41K, if adjusted for inflation would be very pricey today! Doesn't the current 350Z go for much less than that now?
