Think of it this way, the cost of the nicer interior is $10,000 and 75 horsepower. Might be worth it for a lot of people. For others, i can imagine it might make them think twice.

That really isn't a good way to think about it though. Not only 370z is rated at the crank where as the Supra/other BMWs are underrated, that is just peak power and not power under the curve. Also the 4 cylinder Supra makes a lot more torque and weighs less than the 370z. This is why they the 4 cylinder Supra and 370z have similar 0-60 times and quarter mile times. Not that is matters but the 4 cylinder Supra has a lot better fuel economy as well.
So in real world applications the argument is actually just the cost of the nicer interior for $10,000.
