I can't find any good data on the '13 -- is it the same as the '12 listed here?

they're just... different.

but dreamer hit the list pretty well for production cars except he missed the miata (which is closer to the brz/frs than to the stangs)

all honesty... Z is a true niche. v6 na 2 seat coupe. there aren't any other on the market with that spec.

...V4 you say?

Yea that's the one. That's the GT version though. The Z is a FAR better sports car. I'm not arguing that. But for the price and the amenities one gets with the Genesis (Nav, sunroof, 8 speed auto with rev matching, hands free everything, Bluelink, peanut butter leather plus 350 hp) I couldn't find a better Grand Tourer for under $34k.

Mustang GT can compete with 370Z Sports.

All numbers are just Specs on the sheet.

Wait, someone asked that question? Mustang GT can clean up 370Z.

No. No one asked it. I just said. Maybe I misunderstood that GT as of Mustangs.

GT would clean up our Bases, but not the Sports or Nismos.

Only knee down to Shelby500s.

But also remember that Nissan can provide GT-R.

Ford CANNOT beat Nissan.

When buying my Z The only other car I directly compared it to was the FRS/BRZ. Everything else wasn't really what I was looking for. I think the domestics are too big, and cars like evo's, sti's and GOLF R's are really cool, but have nothing in common with the Z. The RX-8 and s2000 could be in the same boat as the Z as well. The Genesis coupe too, but I hate those cars and didn't even consider them. Really any smaller, RWD, two door is comparable, so throw in the z4 and Porsche Boxster/Cayman as well...heck even used 996/997 911's.

FR-S and BRZ ... fun sports cars to drive, but less than 300hp. They're really good. You know 370Z is kind of a daily sports as they are.

Lancer (Evo) and Subaru WRX are ralley cars on totally different concepts. Fundamentally uncomparable to the Zs. Their fans must have their own reasons and it obviously should make sense.

Hyundai GenCoupes .. I think they're still on progress. Not yet good enough like Nissan is trying to catch up with Porsche .. personally wish they could win the Toyotas that it is from my mother country Korea.

Honda S2000 and Mazda RX8 go too small like FR-Ss, hard to compare to our N/A V6 VQs. don't mean they are bad, just say they literally hard to be compared.

BMW Z4 yeah maybe the very competitor to a Z, but I actually don't think it as a Z's true rival. Just going on that outstanding luxurious brand name 'BMW', without it how many would rate it higher than the Zs ?? It is good but Zs are pretty better overall IMO.

Porsche .. you know Nissan often say it as his rival. Frankly I prefer Zs to any Porsches for their design better. But I must agree they outperform all the Zs in the real driving. All numbers are just Specs on a piece of paper when Nissan emphasizes their numericals.

As a fan, really hope Nissan can beat Porsche in the near future.

As much as I respect the GT-R Nismo, I really hope the R36 looks sexier than a roided out Maxima.

I have always found it comical how so many people who only drive their cars on the street (or even on the track at well below it's maximum capability) are so concerned with each tenth of a second when looking at competitor's cars. Most of these people would get their asses kicked by a professional driver in a "lesser" car. Bench racing at its finest.

I learned this lesson on sportbikes.
