The Mustang is already $1500 cheaper than the 370Z. How will lowering the Z's weight by 300lbs be possible while maintaining the same price range? Nissan simply doesn't have a great track record at controlling rising costs, just look at the cost from a 350z to a 370z. Any substantial increase to the price of a 370Z puts it into the Corvette territory where it will be dominated...hands down.

I was not suggesting lowering the weight, but boosting the power to where it's effect would be similar to the 'stangs given their repective weights. Weight is where the Z already has the advantage. As far as costs, the 370Z went up well less than a thousand dollars in all catagories compared to the 2008 350Z.
