I'm obviously gonna cross shop the Z with the 5.0 and even other things like an Evo, Sti, Cayman (used), etc. Just because the cars aren't in the same class doesn't mean I can't compare them. These comparisons are perfectly valid in my decision of which car I want to buy.

You're Right... but they are not valid when you ask the Z to be more like a stang. if the Z is too slow? buy the stang? if you like the Z better but need to go faster? buy and mod the Z. Just be realistic about the complete & different and individual purposes of each car. you have 35k maybe you need a corvette used? mustang power, Z like handling under some conditions. better than Z in others. But nissan shouldn't sell out the Z to be like a stang' or downgrade power to be like a BRZ... i want the Z to keep its own identity.
