370z Vs. '10 GT

^Agreed. The 350 is not as fast as a 370....

^ The thread has been getting some royal treatment from both sides of the fence. But if its true then that is seriously depressing, for now I'll have to drive this myself for a while and get a feel for it. This is going to be my solo track car, so I'll have to start looking at shaving those lbs off. Thanks for the link!

Personally, I think the Mustang is just okay. Ford is still using a small block, which is a negative, and is pushing decent power that is expected out of 8 cylinders. The funny thing that was mentioned in one of the posts in the link is that despite all of the experience Ford has with V8's, Hyundai's FIRST V8 creates more power than the new Mustang's 4.6. LOL! Wow. I'd love to see that Tau V8 in a Genesis Coupe!

Genesis > Mustang then.. hahaha

Anyway, I think I'll stick with my sexier, value sustaining, 370Z.

Oh... And to the folks that brag about the Mustang having 2 extra seats... COME ON! They are NOT back seats for grown men OR women! Maybe kids, yes, but ummm.... Why? People buy roadsters (even people who are married and have kids), because they like 2 seaters. If you are THAT concerned about having 4 seats for your family, then buy yourself a truely practical car like the FOCUS or whatever!

This "my sports car is more practical than yours" crap is just plain nonsense. Sorry... Soapbox > me sometimes.

you're ruining the thread, lets keep it mustang vs. z.. it's been a rivalry in the past and now their both hotter than ever! i don't know how this became a topic about how ford is poor or how the new z is heavier than the old ?

Ford and GM will never go under. Chrysler may.

Why compare a dragster, to a GT car?
