I think it was mostly in the timing. In 2003 there was only the Mustang. No Camaro and no Challenger. In 2009 there was the newer Mustang, Camaro and the Challenger. The 370 Z simply got overshadowed. It also could have used the 400 hp back then, just as it needs more like 450 or 500 now to help keep up. JMO.
