GT500 vs 370Z

Red370

Figured i'd chime in with my .02, my car club usually does drag race night once a month at the local strip, so far I myself, have raced 3 current generation mustang gt's, havent lost yet with my best win being a full second faster, probably a bad driver, but they were all pretty simple wins. I consider a full second "killing" to be honest, but like I said, he probably wasnt the best driver. If you want to have a numbers battle, the Z outperforms the GT from 0-60 Acceleration, 1/4 mile, Slalom, Skid pad, etc. Here is a vid for confirmation. If i'm not mistaken, that is a 2010 GT.

AS you said...it probably was the driver....and BTW....the stats TYPES you identify but didn't provide the comparative values for in your first paragraph - I remember reading them as being so close that the preference given to the 370Z was more of a subjective call by the reviewer(s) as both cars' performances were on the whole considered to be nearly equal.

So again as you stated.....the differences you were involved probably had more to do with the driver than by the cars at all.

Ive been out a couple of days getting ready for my move to El Paso TX (people telling me my car will end up in Mexico) but I have to agree with this, the stangs I have beat and again Im not sure if they are 07 08 09s were by over a car length up to about 80 to 90 MPH and I consider that a good win and it could very well be the drivers and the fact that I have an AT and get perfect shifts every time and they may have messed up their shifts but thats part of the game. Im sure the 2011 stang will be a killer but will it be in our caomparison then, no cuz its HP will be way above ours, so it wont be a far comparison then.

I'd really like to hear your car in person, I havent heard any aftermarket exhaust systems up close and personal yet and I'm curious about FI's. Have you been looking at places to live yet? I could do some local research for you if you give me and idea of what you're looking for.

No I havent looked yet, my family will stay here for now as I will be going back and forth between GA and there for training. I will be looking for an apt or 1 bedroom place that is furnished. Ive been hearing bad things about El Paso with cars getting stolen and gangs and all but Im sure its no worse than any other city. I have the FI and it sounds very aggressive, the vids on line really dont give the true sound to it, so I will have to come by and let you hear it.

In response to the supercharger power question, both are centrifugal style blowers, so they wont have as much low end torque as a root/screw style, it'll gradually build boost much like a turbo without all the lag, and produce good peak hp. I'd say after 3k, it should pull pretty hard. In reference to the auto theft, there are a few gated apartment communities here if that will give you piece of mind. Our Z club meets every sunday, so hopefully you'll come out and cruise with us, theres some good mountain runs here that'll get your blood flowin, only bad part is that you'll notice a definite loss of power from your car, we're a mile up here.

Here's a thread with some pics from a few of our cruises.

I will definatley show for the GTGs, like I said before, they are lame here with no GTGs for the Zs. I will still be holding my house here in GA so I wont be able to afford a nice gated community, just lookin for a fairly cheap clean safe place till the family moves down, nothin special. I can live and have lived in some crapy places and I dont mind as long as they are clean. Living in tents and all while deployed a few times can teach you to live down if need be.

My Apartments are literally out the back gate of Bliss, 1 bedrooms here are pretty cheap, havent had my car stolen yet, might be something to check out. Most of the tenants here are military including myself. Here's a link..
