Nissan needs to do something

Reliability, resale value and seeing all the cars mentioned every 3 seconds is enough for me to pay extra and have less hp.

The Z's benchmark is a Porsche, not a Mustang or Camaro. It's not really intended to compete with the ponies.

The pony cars have always been about hp/$; its only recently that they've begun thinking about sportiness much beyond that.

Except that people do make that comparison because that is what is available to compare on the streets. And the Camaro SS 1LE/Mustang GT Performance Pack are actually fairly good handlers. They are still bloated.

The Porsche Cayman has upped the anti in hp over the last several years. The new Cayman GT4 will be pushing 380 hp.

All that said, I don't care. I love the Z experience, I love the total cost of ownership, and I love the fact that I can easily do work on it.

me too, jp. i honestly dont like the look or sound of porches anyway. im more a ferrari kinda guy if going exotic.

im not sure where people get the idea that the Z is like a cayman, unless they've never actually driven one (like them dumbarse magazine spec-racers). almost nothing similar.
