5.7L Challenger R/T - 375HP - $31,495
6.4L Challenger R/T Scat - 485HP $38,495
5.0L Mustang GT - 435HP - $32,300
2.3L Ecoboost Mustang - 310HP - $29,300

The Z does not belong in the same category as these bloated GT type cars and sedans.
Consider the Challenger R/T which weighs in at 4,082 pounds and has 375 HP. That's a 10.88 lb/hp ratio. The Nismo at 3,350 pounds has a 9.57 ratio -- dramatically better.
You also need to consider handling, uniqueness, etc. Plus, if I am not mistaken, those other cars listed require one to develop an affinity for Old Milwaukee beer and grow a mullet.
Avoid the social stigma and stay with the Z.
