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

Montez · 03-29-2010, 09:42 PM

Wow for the V8 and wow to the V6, you can't caught sleeping on the V6 version.(5.1 to 60@13.7@ 102mph)!

You can join the Camaro Owners an have a differing color, so the best way to find your car in a parking lot is to hit the alarm a few times.You can tell yourself your car is special....not rare but special.

Imagine how many Stangs are out there already,and only owners will be able to tell the difference in the year or engine packages.

10k Zs or so in '09 probably the same numbers again this year.

I think the last page says about 30k Camaros so far and GM is hoping for 100k units a year ,do your think Ford wants a piece of that market,how many Mustangs will they build?

Hurray for the generic muscle car,change your rims so yours will be a bit different for the other 3 on your block.

I just looked at it for the first time...First impressions:

Looks exactly like the current 500+ Mustangs I see on the street today. No major body overhaul from first glances, initial impressions. If you're looking to blend in with the general population I guess this is good.

Interior looks cheaper than my 03 Liberty. Actually, it reminds me of the Chrysler 300 interiors. Cheap city. Blah plastic and ENOUGH with the throwback gauges.

Upon watching the video linked above, I couldn't help but notice body roll as well as the complete nosedive the car makes under hard braking. Looks real sloppy.

Sure the numbers are impressive. But what are your intentions? Drag strip? Daily driver? I think those should be the deciding factors when weighing the Mustang and 370.

Also just on a footnote if we SC our 370z, which is another 8k give or take, then our 370z price just went to 40k+, depending on the package you bought it at, and you're putting down about the same power levels for the 32k Mustang. Also you won't have all the overheating issues more than likely and probably not the brake lockup issues. Hmmm..

It would not be the same power levels with a supercharged 370z. You can put cbe, hfc, and intake, with maybe cobb and have the same power levels as the 2011 Mustang.

The supercharger would give you 520 bhp, the Mustand only has 415 bhp.

What? 370z with bolt-ons do not equal the 5.0 mustang..

Bottom line is the Mustang is in a different league when it comes to power. There's no point in trying to compare because they will always have the advantage. Throw a supercharger on the Z, sure, it'll be faster. But what happens when you slap on on the Mustang?

Like someone else said, there's always going to be someone or some thing that's faster/better than you. Ultimately what it comes down to is what you like. Does the 370Z do it for you? If it does, you're golden.

Like with most things, haters are typically hating because they aren't secure with what they've got.

Ford has underestimated the power on the 5.0…….Inside Line did a dyno and it’s actually 395 WHP.

Looks like with all the defectors over to the mustang the 370z will be more exclusive

WICKED_GRIN · 03-29-2010, 10:29 PM

I owned a (new) ’95 Mustang and it had zero problems…..loved that car! The new 5.0 stang is a gorgeous car and 0 to 60 in 4.5 and 13.0 in the ¼ miles are great stock numbers! My ONLY complaint is the non independent rear axle. Yes it is faster than the stock Z, but it’s a four seater….if you want a four seater, it’s the best bang for the buck for 2011, Hands down!! And like AK stated….everyone and their mother is going to be driving one!! Has anyone else noticed how ford stock has more than quadrupled in the past year…..Ford is a great American car company.

this is true, but all their traded in Z's will be sold to high school age douchebags that'll just make driving even more of a pain in the ***.

You should write Nissan a letter using that fact as one of the reasons why they need to give us more power.

The BlueMax · 03-29-2010, 10:45 PM

Without too many costly options its a great preformance bargin the engine and drivetrain will be great, but the interior and even exterior styling will never be up to Z standards, as well as handling and build quaility. I've owned 4 firebirds and 1 camaro, I respect the mustang but I'm on a new path now. Just give me a detuned GTR powerplant or a 5.6 liter V8 out of the Titain and the mustang will just fade away.......
