A used c5z06 will grant you both at a level a bit higher than a 370z... for a bit less $ (obviously depends on mileage, condition, etc.) But you are correct, at this price range for a NEW CAR it can be difficult to beat... except the Camaro SS and 5.0 Mustang are fair comparisons. Yes, they are pony cars and a different thing altogether than the 370z but they are right in the same price range. For balance let's also include the 135i. In fact I even considered all four of these cars and it's obvious which one I picked. I honestly have no regrets (although it may seem like it) but to be honest I'd feel better if the 370z made the same power (or even less -- as long as it was ~HR power) with a twin turbo setup. At least then bolt-ons and a tune would go a good length further.

But enough complaining, it's all said and done and my next car will most likely be a c6z06 but any time soon!
