Mustang GT vs 370z, non-corporate unbias review! Finally!!!

SINISTER

Z is a true performance car not a muscle car. Its refined and a corner carver....for enthusiasts. The interior is unimportant to me...less is more and simple is better. I owned a hellcat ....boring, unreliable, overpriced, and handled like a boat...but better then a rustang.

even the s550, still does not deliver the same feel as the Z, its just a big hunk of metal that goes fast.
I drove the AT variant and I could send text messages in between gear shifts and yes it was in sport mode.

the hood is awkwardly placed, car feels large, base seats are bad.

Funny how an 09Z still feels overall better than a '15 GT.

How does the Z compare to the BMW M2, and M4 on the track? I'm asking because I truly don't know.

What I do know is that the 2015 BMW M4 ran a 1:23.73 around Streets of Willow per Motor Trend.
The 2016 BMW M2 ran a 1:24.27 around the same track.

The S550 Mustang GT pulled off a 1:24.32.

Very close times, and I'd say the Mustang was very impressive considering the price difference between it, and the above BMW's. New Mustangs are much more than hunks of metal that go fast.

The Mustang GT is a great car and the number it pulls around the streets of willow is great. But these numbers never tell the story on how a car actually feels in terms of driving experience. For example the Porsche Panamera Turbo does the streets of willow in 1:22.68 and I dont think anyone would consider it a better track car than any of those cars even the 370z.

Have you even driven the Panamera Turbo? It's every bit of a track car with 4 doors and 2 infant seats strapped in back

We have amateur grassroots racers putting down 1:25's in Z33's and Z34's, put a pro behind the wheel and that's sure to drop a couple seconds at least.

Randy Pobst was driving all the cars I listed, and pulled off those times.......

I wrote a completely unbiased review from my own perspective recently. I still love the Z but realize there are better buys for similar money. I bought mostly because they sound AMAZING and are kinda uncommon in my neck of the woods. *cough-Corvettes everywhere-cough-cough*

No better buy than a Z for similar money...nothing. I have owned everything ...nothing beats a Z for the price, reliability, looks and performance...nothing.
Of course we all have different criteria of what is important I guess ...

shirokenkami

In the realm of used cars there are many buys that can be had that rival the Z but believe whatever you want. Also, you've owned every thing? Rather bold statement there...
