Z will be better at short track stuff like autocross but the track is out againt a 2011 Mustang without FI. I'll still take a 370Z over the new mustang any day of the week, but lets not kid ourselves about what each is good at.

Is that what you saw or are reading. The 09 GT should only run around 5.1 to 60 from what I can find, now I havent been to a track to see just research. All the car companies are gonna up thier power every few yrs to keep up with the Jones, so dont be surprised to see the Z (and other cars) up HP in a couple of yrs too, its a cycle. A neighbor a fews houses down has a Saleen and it looks pretty cool and they are not Persians or Bling Bling guys, just mustang nuts. Most regular GTs here are driven by females so the guys have to get the GT500s or Saleens, etc to not be driving a girls car now.
