That's what most buyers are looking at and why, even though the Mustang GT and Z are different cars, they are still cross shopped. Add in great looks and handling and it they'll have a winner.

Yea I totally agree. As is the Z will walk a base Cayman. Not the S though, but it's not too far behind. It doesn't need not frankly should it have the refinement of the M4, but it's got to make the M4 WORK to justify the realistic $80K you'd drop on one as opposed to the HOPEFULLY sub $50K for the Z35. I'm thinking realistically 3300 pounds well equipped, DCT 430bhp and 360Tq ought to do it. Make it Z sexy and right around $47K...if be in one again tomorrow. Don't scoff at the DCT, the '16 Veloster just got it. It can be done at cost.
