Right now the Z is in a unique spot, though: well above the Miata & FRS/BRZ though below Vettes (where GTR challenges at least the higher end models). It's a sweet spot they're almost alone in. Base models should be a value added proposition for the formers and the high end ones might be roughly comparable to the latter. The only previous challenger was the S2000 and since Honda turned into 2000's Toyota that hasn't been an issue...

They don't have to get in a HP war though should be close enough to challenge in the end results: most practically the butt dyno and ability to get out of their own way while keeping the cost somewhat down.
