Nah, how about raiding the Evo’s parts bin and revive the Pulsar GTI-R to compete with the Focus RS and VW Golf R?

There could be some sort of bastardized Clio variant that could fill Renault portfolio as well?

Bring back the Z32 chassis with a little modernization, like Dodge did with the Challenger.

What’s the relevance with Mitsubishi?

Now if you said bring back the Starion by using the Z34 chassis that would make sense (almost).

And if you want to pull off the retro thing at least go back to the 70’s; modernized 240Z and Galant GTO MR on a shared S platform would do that trick.

GTR driveline should be $80k alone. The whole car costs $100k and after two years of ownership I’m fairly certain the rest of the car couldn’t have cost more than $20k.

It was my response to the question of, “_anyone else have any unlikely not that great ideas nissan won’t do lol.”_

 

I’ll edit it to use the sarcasm font.
