What's the best value for hp? Mustang/Camaro
I, like a lot of people here, picked the 370z for the more "sporty" feel, design, and because it was less common. However, the first thing people mention and compare is hp (rightly or wrongly) and that's just the way it is. There certainly is something crazy cool about having 400hp from a $32k car. I almost got one, but it didn't have the same steering "feel" as the Mustang (regardless of how well it actually handles, it doesn't FEEL like its handling well). Most roads are straight(ish), so people in the USA value power more.

Amen, hallelujah, and preach on brother... People who buy Z's need to feel like they are one with their car. Being one with the Z helps overcome many of the Z's drawbacks.
But people are so media influenced that your chart is all they see.
