My point was people would compare the Mustang with the Camaro and Challenger because they're all "muscle cars." I think that fact alone separates any of the three cars from being cross shopped with a 370z or another similar sports car. That's why I believe that Nissan really offers something special with a true sports car at a pretty affordable price for the market. Like I said before, unless you're trying to compare any performance-oriented vehicle then it would make sense to cross shop all of the above.

I concur with you. Same could be said for cars like the Subaru STi and the Mitsubishi Evolution. They pull the same numbers as the Z but they are not considered sports cars. Even the Corvette can be thrown into this. It has a huge engine but it's considered a sports car and not a muscle car. It is hard to even classify the GT-R.
