Ahh Man...Mustang 5.0 swap???

Red__Zed

Ok. The z won't make it under 4 minutes without an oil cooler though

shadoquad

I don't have that problem because I use this brand of motor oil.

Now, the Mustang's SRA will have it spinning out on erry corner. As you and I saw in Zdayz, Mustangs are fine in a straight line, but they spin out all the time unless they have a go-pro mounted on the front bumper.

Wow man. You know what? Get rid of your Z and get a V6 Stang. Seems like thats what you want. I'm not going to sit here and do research to back my claim of the Z being beat to balls by several other mags. This was also the same Nismo I believe pulled off a 0-60 time of like 5.2 seconds and a mid 13 second quarter mile in CarandDriver mag and even they admitted the car was seeing signs a real bad abuse. If you really believe a V6 Stang is faster in any way especially around a track then a Z a car that was designed to be better the some Porches then you sir need to

Cool, 1 less Z on the road, and 1 more of the tens of thousands of Mustangs on the road.

Now you can wave at 10-20 Mustangs a day as you pass them throughout your daily routine.

There is something to be said for exclusivity, this is why the mustang will always be a fail in my eyes.

I have the review as a favorite.

With a foot of rollout. It's not the same thing.

When it comes down the Z is a more nimble car where as the stang puts it down on the straights.
Now if you are a gearhead you would choose your own poison.
Most of us on the forums will go boost hopefully.

There are a few of them rolling around Fort Hood / Killeen. I had one try to chase me down on the highway. Let's just say it was interesting to see his facial expression when I told him that i wasn't turbo'd yet when we stopped at the gas station, lol.

Boost incoming...........I can't wait to see some of these guys at the 1/4 mile strip when I get back. Hopefully, they will have opened the road course that they have been working on forever......

OP:

If Mustangs float your boat, then make the move. One of my boys is looking to get a 5.0 GT and we are usually pretty competitive. Our last rivalry was his '88 5.0 LX vs my '89 CA-powered S13. Should be fun.......

/\ you'll need to change your username then, might I suggest Traitorracer, or perhaps, Failracer...

Trips

This is a forum for everyone and just because some decide to go in another direction? Doesn't make them traitors or any less a good owner or person. I suggest that folks hold off on the name calling and such since it's only going to lead to the thread to be locked. I personally don't mind other brand owners as this is a forum for all enthusiast.

Totally agree. But when people start saying stupud stuff like 117mph V6 Stangs are faster or as fast then a 370Z people get a little mad.

thats funny, I was just reading an article that about a 2010 Mustang GT Premium vs 2009 370Z. here is the link
2010 Ford Mustang vs. 2009 Nissan 370Z Comparison Test on Inside Line

There is a world of difference between a 2010 Mustang GT and a 2011 Mustang GT. It's directly under the bonnet.

m4a1mustang

There is a little too much fanboyism going on on both sides here.

First, the V6 with the performance package (summer tires, GT suspension) can get very close to the GT's times on certain tracks where speeds don't exceed its limiter, and the GT is faster than the 370Z on most all road courses, so I don't think it's too far fetched to think the sport version of the V6 could be quicker than a NISMO on some tracks. Plus, we all know that outright speed doesn't really matter as the Z would be in limp mode after one lap without an oil cooler .

Second, if you think the 370Z is "exclusive" you are sadly mistaken. What are the barriers to entry that make it "exclusive?" It's a very inexpensive sports car that anyone can buy. The correct word is rare. There are far fewer 370Zs than there are Mustangs around (~10,000 370Zs sold a year vs. ~30,000 Mustang 5.0s). There's absolutely nothing "exclusive" about a $30k car.

Third, everything Trips said is correct. Instead of bashing people for their choice of vehicle, focus on being happy with yours.
