You can get the Mustang equivalent of a "Touring" 370Z starting around 30k invoice.
I think the car is priced pretty competitively. Compared to my 370Z, I paid about $2k less and get a lot more in terms of options and creature comforts. It's gobs cheaper than the Challenger and Camaro which is what really matters, and it compares nicely price-wise to cars outside of it's class. All I know is you know Ford has done something right when the people buying the car are coming from every direction... from Camaros to 370Zs to BMW M's... It's a good car.
Nissan did the same thing with the Z. How many former BMW and Porsche owners do we have here? That says a lot for the car, IMO.

I just wanted to note I wasn't talking about the available options when comparing the two trim levels. I was merely commenting on how nice the interior looked/felt, not that the base 370z had X option over another. Sorry for the confusion!!
Well I'm glad to hear that you got such a great deal on your 5.0!
In terms of 5.0 vs 370z... just give it up guys. I cannot imagine a 12.4x run trapping ~112 in a stock 5.0 will be repeated too many times (mainly because no one ever keeps mustang's stock lol) but still proves that a full bolt-on, geared, street-tired 370z is a tenth of a second ahead. All you need like m4a1 so smartly put was that with an intake and tune the 5.0 makes significant improvement.
And I cannot lie, a $32k car with supercar-like acceleration is a force to be reckoned with.... even more so once you start thinking about that dealer installed supercharger option /drool
