1969 240Z Stats:
Wheelbase 90.7"
Length 163"
Width 64"
Height 50.5"
Weight 2,302 lbs
161 hp, 146 tq

1969 Corvette
Wheelbase 98"
Length 182.5"
Width 69"
Height 47.8"
Weight 3,091
300 hp, 380 tq

The Iconic 1969, 240Z was a small, light and relatively underpowered car. Yet it became a car everyone loved. Just food for thought.
why I am disappointed with the FRS:

Length 166.7 inches
Width 66.9 inches
Height 51.2 inches (excluding antenna base)
Wheelbase 101.2 inches
Track (Front) 59.8 inches
Track (Rear) 6.6 inches
CURB WEIGHT 2737 lb
Maximum output 200hp @ 7,000 rpm
Maximum torque 151 lb.-ft. @ 6,600 rpm

Only 6 more ft lbs of torque

The classic Z was iconic because it was a simple, no nonsense sports car. light, with enough power to keep you happy. In 1969 161 hp was a lot, especially with that weight.
