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

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.

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

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