Unlike most. I don't compare the Z with muscle cars. I believe Z capability against muscle cars is nice but should be an afterthought. The porsche cayman with chrono pkg should be the benchmark.
Before i think of what other car companies are doing. I think of where the Z originated from and its philosophy of use. (For all you TNP'ers out there. lol) From there i think of the car Nissan chooses to benchmark. From there i make in my head a parameter of expectations where mustangs and corvettes don't come into play.

Now if the end result is, the Z could hang with the muscle cars??? Kewl beans. I got more than I expected. But I'm looking at a car called the cayman when i consider my parameters.

I believe people who deeply desire muscle car performance should just go ahead and purchase muscle cars.
