For the OP
I couldn't read every post but I understand the engine blew at 77k with proper maintenance and driving and that Infiniti refused to make concessions. The OP I believe can sue for breach of implied warranty of merchantability. http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2/2-314
A car company, or any other company can give an express warranty, and they all do, but just b/c an express warranty expires, does not mean there is not a breach of implied warranties that the car is at least of fit or average quality. I knew a lawyer whose BMW 5 series had engine failure just outside of warranty and was denied help. He sued BMW for breach of implied warranty and settled for $14,000.
Maybe it's something to discuss with an attorney specializing in commercial law.

Ummmm. The 2008-2010 and 2011+ are different in many ways actually. 2011+ added launch control(idiots were breaking trannies at the track), more hp, revised aeros(front bumper), revised suspension. And the price increase isn't as bad as it sounds considering how a dollar isn't worth as much as it was in 2008. For a car that seats 4, has a full leather interior, power everything, heavy(dual bose subs don't help), and has less co2 output than the vette and 911 turbo, and runs an 11.1 1/4 mile, and basically defies physics for how heavy it is on a track, I think the price tag is quite generous. A 911 turbo S costs almost double to get to 60 1/10 sec faster and 1/4 mile in a couple tenths faster. Best bang for the buck you can buy imo. The new nismo gtr is claiming to have beaten the $375k lfa(with roll cage installed-not stock) nurburgring time. Under half the price...... o yea, and you can go buy groceries(and have room to put them in the trunk) and drive it with confidence in the snow
I do find it funny that someone who owns a Z06 is complaining about the price of a GTR. If you added the carbon brembos and magnetic suspension options to the Z06, then it was pretty much same price as the GTR.
And they want that V* *vroom**vroom* sound. Put a single turbo and plug in one of these.

I dunno, gut your G35, swap in a V8, spend $10K plus etc... I'm sure they might throw it into a turn or two. I guess we should tell all these guys that have swapped LS motors into their G35s they don't have the stones to put the car into a corner

The GT-R can get up to $110,000. What's the top option price for a Z06? Base pricing starts at $85,000

A GT-R Nsimo is $151,000

The GT-R Nismo gets a massaged version of the company's 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque. That's an increase of 55 hp and 18 lb-ft over the standard version. To get that boost, the Nismo uses high-flow turbochargers similar to those in its GT3 cars, optimized ignition timing and an upgraded fuel pump. All of that together resulted in a claimed Nürburgring lap time of 7 minutes, 8.679 seconds, one of the fastest times for a “volume production” car. The four-wheel independent suspension gets a unique tuning setup in the Nismo that reduces weight and adds stiffness with additional adhesive bonding

Do you ever have any clue about what you are talking about? Ever? It most certiantly not standard and there is no such thing as carbon fiber rotors. The MSRC is only stock on ZR1 and Centennial Special Edition Z06, other than that the only way to get it is part of the Ultimate Performance Package (carbon ceramic brembos and MSRC) for an additional 10k. A fully optoined out Z06 ran for about 105k. The new C7 will be even more. Please Jeff, go prented to know something somewhere else.

No doubt, the standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control shocks also contribute to the weight increase. The C6 Z06 was only fitted with the magnetic shocks when buyers opted for the Z07 package that also brought pricey carbon-ceramic brake rotors and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. From Juechter’s perspective, making the automatically adjusting magnetic shocks standard means more time to fine-tune a single suspension arrangement instead of both a magnetic and standard one. It also reduces build complexity, something the Bowling Green, Kentucky, plant will appreciate.

The window sticker I posted was off a new Z06. Also the Z06 is a seperate car, not a package. Funny the one any only sentace you didnt highlight was the one that proves you wrong yet again. BTW "opted for" means optional kid.
How is it you have no idea what you are talking about here and Im the idiot? Also there is no such thing as Z07 package. It was called the Ultimate Performance Package, I was very clear about that, even posted a pretty picture for you that clearly shows it. How do you think a random car and driver article is more authorative than the actual window sticker from GM off a new Z06? Yes I know the package came with carbon ceramic rotors, as I also very clearly said to correct you for calling them carbon fiber rotors, which do no exists. It is almost a full time job just calling you out on your ignorat statements.

The friggin C6 is THE LAST GENERATION''S PLATFORM YOU NUMNUTZ!!!!!!!!
I was very clearly talking about the C6 Z06 as were you in your quoted articles from Car and Driver, also the exact same generation that C6 TT was talking about. Only a fool would compare a car that isnt even available yet when everyone else is talking about the C6 Z06. I also made it very clear in my post when I said "The C7 will cost even more" that I was talking about the C6. You knew that, you are finally realizing you were wrong yet again and spouting on more BS.
I was talking about the new Z06. But hey, it still doesn't add up to anything close to $151,000 for the 2015 GT-R track edition.
And the 2014 GT-R Track Edition is $116,000
