Nissan 370Z is nice, but I wouldn't say it's a closer competitor than the Mustang. Numbers wise, I think it'll put up a good fight as well - especially after the tuners get their hands on it. But I think the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger are the only ones that really matter.
End of the day no matter how much HP they cram into the V6 in the Nissan, a "muscle car" is a "muscle car" - you either have a passion for the V8 or you like the turbocharged 4cyl or V6 - either way I don't think you can compare the two. As far as price - $32K is almost exactly what the Camaro SS is - I think $34K (don't quote me).
If I have to stare at the tailights of that Nissan after he passes me with his twin-turbocharged V6, I'll be okay, because I'll be listening to the thunder of my V8.
offtopic! (i'm flagging myself, sorry but just couldn't help myself)
blackzbandit - If you get black with flat black stripes I want to see a pic! I've been thinking about flat black or metallic gray stripes but can't decide!
