Bottom line: if I drove over to my Grandpa’s house in a new 350z and told him it was a Nissan \_\_\_\_\_\_ (let him fill in the blank), he’d say _“a Z right?”_ but if I went over and did the same with a new Monte Carlo or Charger, he’d say _“WTF? I dunno… what is it?”_

He wouldn’t say _“That can’t be a Z! It weighs over 1000lbs more than the original!”_ :bloated:

Only the purists give a damn if a cars “Name” gained 1000lbs or gained 4 doors and an SS badge (siiiq) - the only thing that matters in the end is if it’s going to make the company money or not. To the purists: Deal with it.
