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!
Less weight = less material. Should not be more expensive as there is the weight difference is not due to better materials, but because it is a old fat 2 seater.

It is an old platform, with a TT V6.
