Agree to disagree !! I'm just happy to drive one.:driving:

Indeed. It's what I said earlier... I'm lucky to have owned both cars.

I'm sure if I forced (at gunpoint) any of you guys to take my Mustang for a week you'd end up loving it. Whether you'd admit it or not, deep down inside you'd be smiling. :icon18:

Yeah your right i would like to drive one for a week and see.

It's hard to beat a good american made muscle v8.

m4a1mustang 10-12-2010 09:10 AM
If I had the money I would have stuffed a V8 in the 370. I doubt a Ford OHC V8 would fit but an LSX would. :D

The 370Z gets a ton of respect in the Mustang community. 350s... not so much, but the 370Z is a hit over there. Though just like this place there are some haters.

And yes, the 5.0 is the engine for the future.

Actually you will see alot of V8s going to V6 turbos, the vette is going to go that direction (wait till you see the 2014 stingray vette V6 TT) and you now see way more 4 and 6 cyl turbos out there that you did before. But some will stay V8 but most will go smaller FI.

On a side note I respect the new stangs power but still think its butt ugly and too plain for me but I know to each his own. And this wasnt directed at you M4a1 just a side note about my 2 cents.

No, the 'vette is getting a 5.5L-ish DI engine that will put out about 440bhp in the base C7, per GM. That much has been confirmed. That's about all we know, though.

The only car I know of doing what you say is the BMW M3.

Would a 2JZ fit better in the Z than the LSX, a full-assembled LSX motor is around 450#, give or take a few, IIRC. What does the Z's motor weigh, and what does a 2JZ/hair dryer weigh?

But that's really more a reversion to the mean with the BMW. The e92 never really should have happened.

Who told you the Vette is getting a 5.5L-ish DI engine?

<sigh> what to do, what to do! My 5.0 was $7K less than my 370Z

Makes me not want a Z anymore and Im now considering other options..

I sure have always adored the 03-04 terminator cobra.. One of my all time favorites. I may have to settle for that.

:( Damn, I really love the 370z but I don't want to be losing to scrape of the barrel sports cars.
