That's not really saying much, because you are comparing a stock 2011 to your modded Z.

FWIW, the 4.6Ls rated at 315 hp dyno between 270-280 whp (dynojet) and put down around 330 whp with intake, exhaust (CBE and HFCs) and a tune. Drivetrain loss should be similar, so expect around 355 whp stock out of a 2011.

But yeah, I don't know why anyone would buy a 2010 knowing that the 2011 was getting that much of a power increase.

I think since the stang has an extra 2 cyls on us we can include our mods and still have it a fair comparison. IMNO we either compare according to cyl or HP. Either way I know stang owners hate getting beat by 6 cyls, Ive had a few get that pissy look afterwards.

At least with the Z, they are getting beat by a sports car. You should look up the reactions of 'Stang owners on their forums when people bring up the SRT-4. They really hate it that a four cylinder Neon can whoop up on them.

As much as I hate the lil bastards, they're deceptively quick, you cant really tell whats been done to the engine, I imagine they make power relatively cheap based on how many I see driven around here by some poor SOB's. We have privates driving them and I heard one saying something like hes making 400whp with a boost controller, exhaust and up pipe.

I had a '98 Neon Expresso. I'm so glad that thing isn't still in my driveway! (Ex-wife took it with her! Good riddance to both!)
