ill stick with my 33 K base 370z......PLUS yours looks like mine...copy cats....
Try to think this one through. The Jag:

1. SC v6 has a far broader torque band then the NA Z: the engine is a beast
2. Classic Jag styling, subjective but its a looker.
3. Much better interior and customization available
4. Target market: Cayman/Boxster or low end 911

Copy cats...that's pun-ny Most folks copy Jag styling given they are classics. The Z will remain a sports car and is a fantastic package for what it is.

The F type is a bit porky IMHO, so to me its leans more GT then Sports car when comparing it to a Boxster. Kudos for Jaguar for bringing this sucker to market. With the exception of the transmission choices, I could see myself actually lusting after one for once.
