This hasn't been posted yet?

It's on the M3 forum, and people can't stop talking about it.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6753

2009 370Z. 350 hp, 3010lbs curb weight. Same power to weight ratio as the E9x M3. About $20k less than the M3. Should be a real winner!

I think this car is already being underestimated. The author mentions keeping up with a Cayman S, but with a power to weight ratio of 8.6lbs per hp I think it will slaughter that Cayman and run with some bigger dogs (E9x M3, C63 AMG, RS4, IS-F, 997 C2S, etc.).

You have to read the article, the whole thing. It seems everyone is stepping up their game within the next year or two, from the 300hp Ford Focus RS with DSG, to the hot sh*t 300 hp Kia Koup, to the Pontiac G8 GXP, to the 300+hp Hyundai Genesis, to the Alfa hot hatch that may or may not make it to our shores (hopefully with more than the 155hp the Euro market will get), etc. Alot of affordable performance coming to the market real soon!
