I think the Z is very much overpriced compared to Camaro SS and Mustang GT from a performance standpoint. You used to be able to argue that the fit and finish on those cars was terrible but it isn't so anymore. The Z is still better but not by a long shot these days. The main problem with the Z(to enthusiasts) is that it doesn't respond well to mods. Most enthusiasts will buy the car they like regardless of if it's better than its competitors or not with the intention of modding the car to BE better. With the Z it takes 10k to boost it so that It can actually compete with cars that most guys can throw I/h/E on and be hauling a$$. Which can really only be solved by boost.
If Nissan could have somehow boosted the vq35/37 even if it was only to like 375hp at least then we'd have a car that would have been more likely to respond to mods not to mention easier to tune etc.
