Mustang vs. 370Z vs. Genesis Coupe

I almost feel insulted that we were compared to the other two.

Good read. The price difference between the Z and the Mustang make the Mustang seem like a pretty good value.

Haha... since when was the 2011 V6 faster than the previous GTs? They weigh the same and the 2010 GT has a bit more hp and more torque over a flatter curve. It should be faster.

But yeah, they can't be happy considering how the GT vs. V6 environment was. GT owners used to rag on the V6 models like mad because they were always at least 2 seconds faster from the factory. Now they've got a V6 that can dip into the 13s stock... pretty wild considering my 2002 V6 automatic could only do 16s stock!!!

Based on price, the 2011 Mustang GT Premium should have been the one compared, not the V6 Mustang.

Heck, if the comparo was just for V6 engines, why not bring Porsche into the comparo as well?

Because magazine/online reviewers are idiots who have no clue of what they are comparing. Oh look we have three cars with V6 engines, lets do a review of them and see the results.

Doesn't Porsche use a flat 6?

Yes, they are idiots.

That or a lot of people have been asking about just how good the V6 Mustang is. Combine that with many cross shopping the three cars and you have grounds for a comparison.

I mean, everyone does realize that while it missed its mark the Genesis coupe was designed to compete with the Z, right?

Yep, I crossed showed the Gen coupe and while the Z beat it in every way, it is a great start for Hyundai and will definitely rival the Z in less than 5 years (if Hyundai continues working on it).

Completely agree. It was a valiant first effort from a company who is evolving its lineup nicely and offers a baller warranty. For the price, you could do worse.

congrats!!! u finally got your internet connected!

u got an idea how old this thing is?

HKYStormFront · 05-18-2010, 10:55 PM

thought the new mustang was a lot lighter, especially the v6 models moving from iron block to alum.

You are thinking of the GT500 which dropped around 200 pounds of weight.
I think the 4.6 & now 5.0 have been mostly alum blocks for awhile, it was the 5.4L in the GT500 which still was a heavy block.

m4a1mustang · 05-18-2010, 11:00 PM

May be a little bit lighter than the 2010 GT because of the engine, but that's not enough to compensate for the GT's extra power and torque. Not to mention the lowest gear you can get on the V6 is a 3.31 with the performance package. Standard is a 2.73.

Ford was careful to make sure the V6 wasn't too quick. I have to say, though, that V6 should respond pretty damn well to bolt-ons!

tvfreakazoid · 05-19-2010, 02:47 AM

Well the 2011 ford v6 is a huge upgrade in hp. Especially the V8 GT.
Come on 370 how about a power boost. Let's follow ford mustang direction.
