2011 Mustang GT... I think I need to re-think my next car

gnarf · 03-31-2010, 06:50 AM

I wish they put the motor from the FX50 into the 370z...the FX50 is about the same to 60 than the current mustang GT..and it weighs 1200lbs more than the Z...FX50 with FI would be the seks...

Anything can be done with enough money.

Except for making the Mustang into a track-able machine. That, however, is impossible. Dont even think about it. DURRRRR HURP DURP. IM PHARMACIST. DUR DEE DURP

this is a ridiculous statement.

the new mustang is badass. i will likely buy one when i get bored with my Z, which usually takes about 2 years for me...

The sarcasm was obviously NOT ridiculously thick enough in my statement. Let me fix it.

Dude.. if you do WAIT for the 302 Boss or Mach1 variant!! They will be oh so hard core!!

All I know is when I was at my HPDE and a Mustang got on the track, everyone was just wondering when it was going to see the dirt. Didn't take long. I think it happened almost every session

EDIT: The 2 65's that were there were not the ones being talked about.

We will see what happens at the drag strip this summer. Im sure that i will give the stang a run for its money.

I am sick oh hearing about the 2011 Mustang. You are running just as fast with some mods. End of story.

Yes but if they do the same mods then you are back to the original gap. When you compare one car to another you have to do so evenly, either stock for stock or mod for mod. If I put 10k into my car then it better be faster than the stang, but if he does the same 10k then he is back to being faster. Gotta compare apples to apples, or light sabres to light sabres if in the urinal.

if it's about apples to apples, why compare the v8 5 litre mustang to a v6 3.7l z?the more appropriate comparison will be to the v6 mustang which is still slower.

Price is the great equalizer.

Then we compare the 2010 Mustang to the 2010 370z, and the Z is still faster.

faster is nice but for me the real decision is the looks inside and out. The stang by design is bland to me inside and out. I like the new high tech looking insides and the exterior of the Z is way cool. They should have changed the body style and interioe of the 2011 stang to make it more modern. Retro interiors are out. If Nissan ever makes a V8 Z then it will have tons of power but they probably wont cuz it would enter the GTRs area.
