I would say the majority of this is being caused by the current dollar vs yen fiasco. The Z has pretty much gone up 4k since it debuted in 2009 and there certainly haven't been any changes to the car that justify that kind of increase.
So to answer the original question, no I don't think this car is a good value anymore for the price, and trying to pass this off as an affordable sports car isn't gonna fly anymore. I never thought I would say this, but frankly, I think both the V-6 and V-8 Mustang are just about the best bang for the buck you can get right now.
