Can this one go around corners ok?

get the mustang... i like when the old guys in new mustangs look at my car like they have never seen it because they haven't i like keeping the 370 rare

The last one could. The track pack equipped cars (read: sport package) are very formidable around a road track.

i like the mustang

so true....

How many of us use our cars to the full potential?

How often are you going to be racing a 2011 Mustang?

Is this about bragging rights "my car is faster then your car"is kinda like "my dad can beat up your dad".

Suggesting a Mustang is better then a Z in a Z forum is going to get flamed.

It comes down to what you like,if you want a car that everyone else has buy a Mustang, you want something a little more rare buy a Z ,its all personal taste,if your in a Z forum and not a Mustang forum you must have a reason.

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.




^^ Let’s not forget about those tiny Toyota 4 cylinder engines in the tiny Lotus…..

Agreed

the 2011 stang will be the big hp guy for awhile, then in a year some other company will come out with higher numbers, then another company, its all a cycle. You will also see more 4 cyl cars with 1 or 2 turbos that will be just as fast.

Recognizing the competition is just being intelectually honest. Next year the mustang is the only competition for the 370Z at that price point in my book. One handles a bit better and traditionally has better build quality, the other is going to flat out outperform in all but the tightest tracks. The two are neck and neck with each having it's advantages over the other. The Mustang is an ugly car, but you can't but help respect it's performance capabilities.

If you worry about what the next new car/motor is going to be that comes out, and how much better it will be than what you have, you'll constantly be playing catch up. It's just a cycle of the industry. Something new and better(subjective) is always coming out. Save your money and be happy with what you have. Or spend your money to get the next best thing. Just be prepared to start the cycle over again.

Most Z owners complain that they cant see their cars from the outside driving around ,I suspect the Mustang owners wont have that issue,it will be like "Oh that is what may car looks like when I'm driving around "or "wow that is what my car would look like if I had bought a red/blue/black etc. colored Mustang".

Ask yourself this when was the last time you drove around the block to look at Mustang again.btw I did this yesterday to look at a 350 nismo I saw out of the corner of my eye.

Meanwhile the Z owners will just have to find a big department store window to drive buy on a sunny day to see what their Z looks like from the outside driving around...... come on admit you've done this ;)

True, but in this mustang's case this isn't a performance bump....it's a huge leap. I wouldn't even consider a 2010, but the 2011 is a real game changer. It's leaped past the camaro and gives the 370Z pause. I doubt you will see this kind of jump from anyone else anytime soon. Ford had to step up to the plate due to the competition and managed to do it in spades.

I agree it's a huge leap in performance. I'm just saying... It's a never ending race when it comes to new technology and power.
