Ford could easily match Nissan on those numbers with a V6. Remember they produce a 365 hp TT. The point is that its a MUSCLE CAR. And most consumers anticipate a big nasty sounding V8.
Nissan is in a league of its own in terms of Japanese manufacturers still producing entry level sports cars but I dont think their intentions were to catch a mustang.
Ford from the beginning has focused on keeping the majority market share on pony car sales. So ya, they were slacking on base models for a bit in the earlier S197 platforms.
In conclusion, 370z = drivers car. Id drive the piss out of it. 2011- mustang = a pretty damn good car for the dollar. Id gladly take the base model and mod it to my liking.
