Exclamation How the 370z stacks up: Dollar / Horsepower

This post is a listing of the dollar per horsepower ratio for other vehicles and how the 370z ranks accordingly.

We are pretty much in the middle of the "pricey" dollar/h.p. listing. Interesting to see all the domestics at the bottom of the list. Displacement and low technology engines are apparently cheaper to build

If we had a sexyness / dollar category... the 370 would be topping THAT chart

- - Over $500/H.P. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  • AH-64 Apache Helicopter - $2,404/H.P.
  • Bugatti Veyron - $1,900/H.P.
  • Lexus LF-A - $667/H.P.
  • Lamborghini Aventador - $568/H.P.

- - More $/H.P. than 370z - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  • Porsche Boxster S - $197/H.P.
  • Nissan GT-R - $183/H.P.
  • Corvette ZR-1 - $176/H.P.
  • BMW M3 - $145/H.P.
  • Mercedes C63 - $133/H.P.
  • Mazda Mazdaspeed3 – $125/H.P.
  • Cadillac CTS-V Sedan – $124/H.P.
  • Subaru WRX STI - $123/H.P.
  • Nissan 370 Z Coupe – $122/H.P.

- - Less $/H.P. than 370z - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  • Dodge Challenger SRT8 – $111/H.P.
  • Hyundai Genesis 3.8 – $108/H.P.
  • Chevrolet Cobalt SS – $108/H.P.
  • Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 – $107/H.P.
  • Dodge Charger SRT8 – $102/H.P.
  • Mustang Boss 302 - $95/H.P.
  • Chevrolet Camara ZL1 - $94/H.P.
  • Chevrolet Camaro – $88/H.P.
  • Ford Mustang V6 – $86/H.P.
  • Suzuki Hayabusa Motorcycle - $62/H.P.
  • Shop-Vac - $21.60/H.P.

Intersting thing I noticed, the only category where I wouldn't mind owning one past 100k miles is the "More $/H.P." category, including the 370z.

The breakdown we really need is the hp/lb chart.

I really hate these kinds of lists and more over hate the conversations that come from them.

I disagree. Without this list, I would have never known that a Camaro has the same $/HP as my lawnmower (4.5hp/$399).

Then that same lawnmower is probably $798/lbft. It's a Honda.

If it is, they need to call up Briggs and Stratton. Mine was noticeably torquier than this Honda POS despite being rated as the same hp.
