So sports car territory is below 10 pounds per HP I guess. Luxury cars fill into the 10-16 pounds per HP range. Entry-level badge vehicles and lively econoboxes go 16-22. Beyond 22 is pure econobox territory.
You can build a used Miata with an LS2 and get about 345 HP, which gives you the same 7.4 pounds per HP, for about $25000, give or take a few thousand.
A G37x has about 255 AWHP, maybe a little better, with a weight similar to my G35x, around 3400 pounds. That puts it to 13.3 pounds per HP, definitely a bit improved.
That actually probably puts the Z06 and base models in the 3350 range, which will throw their lb/HP ratios higher. Anyways... 530 RWHP. 6.3 pounds per HP.
