How the 370z stacks up: Dollar / Horsepower

osbornsm · 09-10-2013, 10:58 AM

This post is a listing of the dollar per horsepower ratio for other vehicles and how the 370z ranks accordingly.

We are pretty much in the middle of the "pricey" dollar/h.p. listing. Interesting to see all the domestics at the bottom of the list. Displacement and low technology engines are apparently cheaper to build

If we had a sexyness / dollar category... the 370 would be topping THAT chart

- - Over $500/H.P. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

AH-64 Apache Helicopter - $2,404/H.P.
Bugatti Veyron - $1,900/H.P.
Lexus LF-A - $667/H.P.
Lamborghini Aventador - $568/H.P.

- - More $/H.P. than 370z - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Porsche Boxster S - $197/H.P.
Nissan GT-R - $183/H.P.
Corvette ZR-1 - $176/H.P.
BMW M3 - $145/H.P.
Mercedes C63 - $133/H.P.
Mazda Mazdaspeed3 – $125/H.P.
Cadillac CTS-V Sedan – $124/H.P.
Subaru WRX STI - $123/H.P.

Nissan 370 Z Coupe – $122/H.P.

- - Less $/H.P. than 370z - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Dodge Challenger SRT8 – $111/H.P.
Hyundai Genesis 3.8 – $108/H.P.
Chevrolet Cobalt SS – $108/H.P.
Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 – $107/H.P.

Intersting thing I noticed, the only category where I wouldn't mind owning one past 100k miles is the "More $/H.P." category, including the 370z.

Great list. Thank you.

The breakdown we really need is the hp/lb chart.

I really hate these kinds of lists and more over hate the conversations that come from them.

I disagree. Without this list, I would have never known that a Camaro has the same $/HP as my lawnmower (4.5hp/$399).

Now all you need is a Dollar/Torque and you'll be set!

Then that same lawnmower is probably $798/lbft. It's a Honda.

If it is, they need to call up Briggs and Stratton. Mine was noticeably torquier than this Honda POS despite being rated as the same hp.
