And the 370 needs more HP to compete with the competition ?
What car for 30k gets you 333 hp and low 13 second 1/4 and more than comparable handling ??? Pontiac Solstice ? Saturn Sky ? Hyundai Genesis ? BMW 335 ? Lexus is350 ? (power is there but not for 30K closer to 50 ) Corvette ? Yes, but its a Chevy and still way more money ... Mustang GT? inferior.

It wouldn't be a low 30k if you add in all of the navi and touring packages.
I'm also not basing this on engine only. V8s from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge are also allowed in this game just because they are also sports car at a lower level.
And why would the Mustang be inferior? I'll agree with the 2010's Mustang but there is no doubt in my mind that the 2011's might edge the current 370Z. Hence it is important for Nissan, imo, to upgrade to compete and better its opponents. And as for Chevy, I was actually thinking of the Camaro SS. If I can recall correctly, so far, the Camaro has beaten the 370Z (Nismo?) on all of the tracks despite it being a stereotypical straight line performance car. Competition and bragging rights usually stem from performance statistics. It would be harsh for the Camaro SS drivers to say that in a straight, they would beat us AND on the track.
What can we say about them? That our car is smaller and is more fun to drive? Sure, maybe for you, but for the general public, people want to see which car is better mostly from a performance/competition standpoint.

You want it to compete with the cars priced 45k+ but for 30k...

This tread encompasses all ranges of the 370Z including the 40k Nismo.
