370Z... modern day FD RX-7?

Yes: 370 = modern day FD3S

Why?
Because: both RX7 and 370 give same horsepower regardless of trim level
both handle 0.98 g's on skidpad
R1 is analogous to sport package base 6 speed--> cloth seats, no frills all business
both cars use aluminum body panels, but FD more so
both cars are gorgeous, voluptuous
both cars do a back-to-basics sports car approach i.e. no frivolous gadgets (OK maybe not the synchro-rev but it's 2009 peeps)
both are 2 seaters, no more 2+2 elongated "limo" Z a la Z32
Nissan engineers paid special attention to little things to reduce weight via the 370 base stereo, doors, hatch and hood, but 4 inches from wheel base and 2 from overall length

But uhh...the 370 can accelerate a little harder through the 0-60 and 1/4 but their top speeds are essentially the same.

So yes, the 370 grabbed the torched from the FD3S because the RX-8=fail.
