nakamura and french guy knows this. but they still decided to launch the 370Z with that engine so i am not sure why they are facepalming now. i think the car is brilliant for what it is.

This. It falls right between the FR-S/BRZ and the Mustang on power/weight/handling and will have sales sucked in either direction. When it was introduced in 2009, the Mustang wasn't even a real competitor and the FR-S/BRZ was only a concept. Hopefully, the 201X (5?) will reduce weight/add power to put it back on top.

By todays standards it can definitely be done, and for a reasonable price.
