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.
This tread encompasses all ranges of the 370Z including the 40k Nismo.
Why is it lucky?

+1 The 370Z eclipses the similarly priced competition in every catagory except straight line power. This is where I would add some. It doesn't have to match power for power, just match acceleration times. Due to it's lighter weight, I'd say if they could squeeze 360 to 370 hp, it will match the 2011Mustang and stomp on the Camaro and Challenger in 0-60. The extra power would also probably best the Cayman S on the track. A win-win. The stock block seems to be able to take this much power with ease so the uptick shouldn't cause a huge price jump. It's easy to want twin turbos and larger blocks, but then you loose the 370Z actual biggest current benefit, it's increadable bang-for-the-buck.
