And the 370 needs more HP to compete with the competition ?

What car for 30k gets you 333 hp and low 13 second 1/4 and more than comparable handling ??? Pontiac Solstice ? Saturn Sky ? Hyundai Genesis ? BMW 335 ? Lexus is350 ? (power is there but not for 30K closer to 50 ) Corvette ? Yes, but its a Chevy and still way more money ... Mustang GT? inferior.

You want it to compete with the cars priced 45k+ but for 30k...

We are lucky it makes the power it does ... The car is rock solid and I love everything about it..

Actually My one change would be put the VLSD in the Base, its an embarrassment to the Z to be a peg leg.. Coming from someone with a base model!!!
Actually, I priced out a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 6MT on USAA with (HID, gears, Security, and Brembo brakes) and it's still cheaper than a 370z 6MT Sports + Touring. It will also hands down be faster than 370z on a long track.

Nissan needs to fix the oil temperature problem first.

Lug, and if you drop the weight of the Mustang to the 370Z, the numbers are more apart.

And if you added two more cyls to the 370Z it would be faster. If If if......there are always faster cars out there every couple years. Its a cycle to keep the speed freaks buying.

I'm mocking him just in case you didn't know. I, for one, always find it funny when people make the argument "well, if only my car has AWD like yours, it will be faster!!"

Don't make excuses for the car. Blame it on the company who makes them so they can make cars faster than their rivals.

That would require a powerful sawz-all and welding machine to get those 2 pesky rear seats out!
