wow.........you have no idea what you're talking about.

1) the first year for the corvette was 1953
2) the first year for the camaro was 1967
3) the relative price difference between the M3 and M5 is about 27%. figure a new silvia would start at 21k, multiply that by 1.27 and you come up just short of 27k. gee, what a coincidence, right where the 350Z starts at.
4) the BMW M1 is not speculation......and it's not gonna be 150k or anything close. if you knew anything about BMW's you shoulda been able to figure out that the smaller the number of series of car, the smaller the car. BMW is releasing a new smaller line of cars called of course, the 1 series. in the not so distant future (a couple years after the redesign of the 5 series probably) the M5 will move up to a V10 in support of f1, the M3 will have a V8, and the M1 will have an I6. the M1 will be in the price range of the original M3, probably in the mid 30's.
5) the GTR is most likely pretty close to done. even if it's not, i doubt working on a new model would really be that detrimental to its success.
6) i'm not talking about the recent thunderbird, i'm talking about the old ones, that used to be basically a GT car just like the 350 is now. i don't see how you don't compare the 350 to a mustang, since it's in the same price range, same layout, same target market. don't be ignorant and dismiss it just because it's a ford. i could go on and on about this, but at this point in time, i'm sick of dealing with you.

thanks for playing, don't let the door hit you on your way out.
