Why should I also consider these?

If you're looking at the 2009 Nissan 370Z, chances are you know what you want—and there's not much direct competition out there for this traditional sportscar.

Among the closest comparisons by the specifications sheets, you could look at the Nissan's fancier cousin, the Infiniti G37 Coupe.

The G37 is more luxurious and relaxed than the Z, plus there's more interior room with its +2 seating.

The BMW Z4 is a pure two-seater with six-cylinder power.

The BMW is due for a significant makeover for 2010.

Based on price and V-8 performance, the 2010 Mustang GT is a worthy 370Z competitor.

The Ford's newfound interior quality and ride quality eclipse the Z's, while still maintaining a truly sporty feel.

Some Nissan Z-car shoppers won't admit that the car they'd really like to drive is the Chevrolet Corvette.

The step up to what TheCarConnection.com considers the best value in the sportscar segment will cost an extra $15,000.

 
2010 Ford Mustang
Nostalgia is still a big part of the appeal, but the 2010 Ford Mustang is now every bit a modern, refined sport coupe.
 
2009 Chevrolet Corvette
While the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette provides plenty of impressive performance to dream and/or brag about, this car is not a one-trick pony. If ever there were a practical sportscar, this is it.
