Nismo really should come with a turbo version, but then again.. the cost... I just dont know how they can compete with the domestic sports cars anymore.

Here is the MSRP on a few cars.

3.7L Nismo - 350HP - $41,990
5.7L Charger R/T -370HP - $32,995
6.4L Charger R/T Scat - 485HP $39,995
5.7L Challenger R/T - 375HP - $31,495
6.4L Challenger R/T Scat - 485HP $38,495
5.0L Mustang GT - 435HP - $32,300
2.3L Ecoboost Mustang - 310HP - $29,300

The Z does not belong in the same category as these bloated GT type cars and sedans.

Consider the Challenger R/T which weighs in at 4,082 pounds and has 375 HP. That's a 10.88 lb/hp ratio. The Nismo at 3,350 pounds has a 9.57 ratio -- dramatically better.

You also need to consider handling, uniqueness, etc. Plus, if I am not mistaken, those other cars listed require one to develop an affinity for Old Milwaukee beer and grow a mullet.

Avoid the social stigma and stay with the Z.
