I thought he was waiting but I know he's been posting more on the Mustang forums than he has here lately, so I dunno.

Educ8r 09-30-2010 10:02 AM
Google 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 vs BMW M3

and yes the Z is much "prettier" than the Mustang

He's been chomping at the bit for a while now. I've not seen him do anything new to his 370Z.

There have been a few threads about Motor Trend's comparison of the GT and the M3. And, as I've said in all of them, I'm absolutely stunned that Ford's bad boy can keep up with the German for half the price. The Stang is a fantastic performance bargain. The Z is still a better fit for me, but I'm not surprised that the Stang is doing as well as it is. Again, congrats educ8r on a wonderful performance car.

You got a 5.0? wtf why didn't you get a Genesis Coupe? Damn don't you just want to rev that warranty?! the things got like 450 foot pounds of value!:roflpuke2:

seriously though, congrats on the car! i'm sure its a beast, i would love to try one out if i had the chance. Enjoy that v8 pur! :):tup:

red6spd 09-30-2010 10:38 AM
Sorry to hear you got a bad taste in your mouth for Nissan because of your Z. The 5.0 is a sick car and I considered it but I just cant get over the fact that it still has a live rear. The car would probably handle so much better with a Independent rear, why wont they switch??? Whatever congrats on the new car.

phelan 09-30-2010 10:39 AM
five point OH!! really can't fault the switch, if i was in the game for a muscle car i'd have purchased the mustang too. with that said, if i wanted a muscle car, screw new cars, i'll go old school and rebuild something.

either that, or screw the mustang, i'll buy myself a ford fiesta !

Yea good idea. I have heard that it has better handling than a Murcielago.

...."wait... what was that? This just in folks. It turns out that a smaller turning radius does not, in fact, mean the car has better handling. Looks like we need to re-engineer our 15k Lambo-Killer"

But "fiesta" means party. "Murcielago" is some foreign word. "Mustang" means horse. I think out of the three, I'd like to party the most.

"Z" is the 26th letter of the alphabet. :icon14:

(Oh yeah, and if I remember right, the GT500 pulled almost identical times on VIR as a standard GT, thanks to its ridiculously horrible weight ratio).
3820/550 = 6.95 Lbs per HP....simply horrible.


:D

I can't wait to see the new american car commercials.
"Just remember who we fought in world war II. Buy American"

Why not? Dodge has George Washington driving a crappy overweight Challenger into battle during the revolution. It's only logical that the next one has Patton driving the new Charger into Messina.

m4a1mustang 09-30-2010 11:00 AM
Lots of the components on the Mustang are Japanese. :icon18:

Wow! Where have you been for the last year? The 2011 Mustang is not your father's Mustang. It's not only the best handling Mustang GT ever, especially with the Brembo package, but the new 5.0 is one of the most sophisticated production motors out there.

zomg they should have a commercial where dodge challengers storm the beaches at normandy with BMW's on mounted machine guns.

or VW patrolling Auschvitsz and then a dodge challenger coming to chase the VW away

well, our only real strategy would be to convince customers that our products are patriotic. Like, American Flag Coca Cola, or American Flag Stapler, or American Flag dual core processor. There are a lot of markets we could penetrate.

I like the new 5.0 Stang and it's an incredible bargain for the amount of power you get. However, I still prefer my Z for looks, handling, and power it does put out.

Plus you don't see too many Z's as compared to the Stang. Which is the same reason I also ride a Harley Night Rod Special and will soon acquire a MV Brutale 1090R :)

Congrats on the new ride and I hope that voodoo from your Z doesn't rub off on mine!
:iagree:

Did you trade in the Z to the Ford dealer? what did they give you for it?

Beautiful car. I've always liked Mustangs---my first car (in 1965) was the first year Mustang---a 1964 1/2. I enjoyed it very much. Hope you enjoy yours, too.

Because there are TONS of narrow-minded morons on both boards, sadly.

You're talking to a guy who drove 2 camaro's, and has been on car forums forevar. Trust me, I know how the conversations go.
