The asians see our mentality towards motorsports as simplistic. In 1969 the Z was designed to copy 1961 ferrari performance on a budget. The american mentality was how can we make a car bigger. Where they glorify complex roadcourse in car engineering. We drag race and go around in circles in stock cars. Its a different philosophy dude.
The only people that see competition is americans at japan. Not the other way around. Asia to Asia is another story. America sometimes puts themselves in the middle of arguments or competitions where the other party doesn't care. If you want a mustang competitor? Buy a camaro.
The Z has to step up on hyundai. Besides. KEY POINT the Z is a V6. When the mustang V6 can outdo a Z. I will get back at you on your statement.

Don't delude YOURSELF.
The United States is currently the largest car market in the world. It is a prime competition area for all of the world's major car manufacturers. Nissan probably makes more money off of cars sold in the US than it does in Japan.
The Japanese makes see American makes as competition. So do the Europeans.
