370Z is not that much slower than a 5.0L mustang, the difference would come down to the driver and Nissan fit and finish is much better.
Either way if it has trademarks in the styling like the 240 and will go quicker than a 370 then it cant really be a bad thing.
Poor ol GM fans, what do they have to look forward too?

A 14.8 quarter mile is close to Mustang 5.0 times?
The 370 couldn't even outrun an ecoboost Mustang.
Sports cars require fresh platforms because they need to be at the forefront of dynamics. Is that not the sole reason for their existence? The 370 already gets bagged in reviews because it's old as hell and drives like it. They would need to seriously re-do the entire platform to bring it up to modern standards. But highly unlikely because Nissan is doing so poorly financially.
The engine looks like a big step forward though. Hopefully the rest of the car can match it.
