The Z is a bit underpowered, but it actually makes for a well balanced car, and it's satisfying to run it to the absolute max, which is possible on public roads. With a Z06 you'll never be able to hit the redline in 1-4 gears on a daily basis.

Exactly. NA power gains are always going to be a bad $/hp output.
If you can't go fast with 300 HP, 400 ain't going to help. Cost efficient power would have been a Mustang GT or used SBC car: those V8s are very good $/hp cars.
I drove an extremely well balanced car for 13 years prior to the Z. I also double WHP with a nice turbo kit. The extra go made me grin, but the balance was never the same as its underpowered beat on it and still not get arrested stock form.
