It's not underpowered at all. If you're looking for a car close to or below $30,000, then the 370z is the answer. It sets the benchmark for its class and is also the best bang for your buck while the 335i sets the benchmark for entry-level sports coupe.

IMO, Sports car and sports coupes shouldn't be compared because while the sports car is more raw, has better feed back, more driver oriented, the sports coupe is more refined, convenient, while being able to provide "sports car" like attributes. That being said, the decision should be made by the persons preference and not by which car is "better".
