"We" are "Inside" many things. And with the amount of hours I put in at work, I figure I probably make about $19.00 an hour.

Added some price comparisons...

370Z Nismo: Starts at $42,000 - $47,000
Displacement - 226 cubic inches
Horse Power - 350
= 1.55 HP/CI
Weight 3232 (?)
= 9.23 Lb/HP
Skid pad pulls .99G depending on what year you're looking at? I picked the best one.

2015 Mustang GT 5.0: Added Performance Package is a MUST: Starts at $36,000-$41,000 (<41k if you want Recaro's)
Displacement - 302 cubic inches
Horse Power - 435
= 1.44 HP/CI
Weight - 3810 Lb
= 8.75 Lb/HP
Skid pad pulls .95G

However....
Shelby GT350: Starts at $48,000 - $58,000
Displacement - ~305 cubic inches
Horse Power - 526 ~101 hp per liter
Weight - ~3780 Lb
Skid pad pulls 1.00G

Performance advantage goes to the Mustang until you reach a corner. The lighter weight of the Z will give it a handling advantage. YMMV
I didn't include the GT350R because it's out of price range for all 3 here and very hard to get, unless you are Jay Leno and a couple other guys I know.

Don't get me wrong, I am and always will be a Z guy... but these American cars aren't "just" muscle anymore.
