Except it isn't similar weight. I also don't think they will go with a 330HP version at all, and if they do it would need to be far cheaper than that.
If we instead consider the regular 400HP Z vs the Mustang GT, raw HP numbers alone don't tell the whole story and we need to factor in power to weight (ptw).
2022 Mustang GT: 450HP/3,972lbs
Ptw: 0.113 HP/lb
2022 Nissan Z: 400HP/3,485lbs
Ptw: 0.115 HP/lb
A base 400HP 6MT Z at least will actually have a slightly better ptw ratio than the Mustang GT. A 330HP Z will be far below the GT's ptw however, so yeah, they had better not do that and price it at GT money!
