If you limit the rivals to have the same configuration as the Z (2-seater RWD), then,

Z4 3.5
SLK 350
Porsche Boxster/Cayman S
Corvettes?
Lotus Elise?

S2000
Mazdaspeed Miata

I briefly looked at the gen coupe when shopping for the 370z. The styling doesn't do it for me (it's gotten uglier since) and the interior just felt very cheap and just kind of crappy. If that's all I could afford, it's probably a decent car, but there's no way I would get that if I could afford a z.

Still, the Gen did better than I would have thought.

I can't find any good data on the '13 -- is it the same as the '12 listed here?

Yea that's the one. That's the GT version though. The Z is a FAR better sports car. I'm not arguing that. But for the price and the amenities one gets with the Genesis (Nav, sunroof, 8 speed auto with rev matching, hands free everything, Bluelink, peanut butter leather plus 350 hp) I couldn't find a better Grand Tourer for under $34k.

felix0121 · 01-09-2015, 03:04 AM

Not all Mustangs and Camaros are V8, rather their basic trims run with V6 - even don't need premium gas fueled !!

370Z is kind of a very unique and hard to comparable to for its wonderful (and also xxxxing sometimes) two seats with the outstanding design and also the N/A V6 !!

That's why Zs are so rare on the street, and also why I love my Z.

For me the ONLY car I still lust for over the 370 (New or older and within my reach) is US spec Exige and do a built and boosted K20 swap. If the new Euro only version Exige S was available here I would part out the Z and sell a kidney if I had to! Ha
