Automobile Magazine: 40th Anniv 370Z versus new Mustang GT

That's sweet. But honestly I need more MPG. I really want something that will get me ~30 mpg in town and ~40 highway.

I thought the mustang was suppose to compete with the camaro? Once again ford fall's short so there having to compare them to cars with smaller engines..

Zsteve · 10-18-2010, 06:32 PM

I cant see the camero having more power than the vette, as their flagship car. Unless they do the same for the vette

The 5.0 beats the Camaro SS, the Z28 is a supercharged Camaro SS which is meant to take on the GT500. Which as of right now is in a bit of limbo because the contract for the GT500 ends this year and a decision is still being made on where ford wants to go with the top end Mustang.

Same 5.4L with a SC?
Use the 5.0L with a SC or eco boost tech?
Something new?

Wait, what? The Z28 is designed to compete with the 550hp GT500.

Well I suppose its about time! The last time a mustang gt out ran a ss or z28 was when the late 80's early 90's body style was out.

BTW did the GT500 take the place of the cobra or are they suppose to come out with a new one?

In '05 they replaced the Cobra with the GT500 but there is talk that they may bring the Cobra name back.

GT500 replaces the Cobra.

I am so glad the Stangs are back on top. Makes me remember when I was a kid and envied one of my mother's friend's son with his black 5.0. That thing would eat Camaros all day and night. We actually saw him street racing once downtown when we were coming back from an event my dad was being honored yet. My parents are so cool, they did not snitch on him. Great.

That said, I just watched that vid from a few pages back. That Evolution Performance Stang is Armageddon. Just sick. Red and M4A1, when are you doing that to your 5.0's???!!?! Dont S/C them, keep them N/A!!!! I still go to most of the professional drag events at Firebird Raceway with my dad. I can't wait to watch some of those 5.0's bad boys running. DANG I can't wait.

And the Juke is cool. I thought about getting one for my DD, but I think I will pay my wife's CX7 off and get her a CX9. I will keep the CX7 as a DD and tune it!! AWD and the MS3 motor baby!!! I just have to shampoo the seats due to my darn girls putting their feet on them. No biggie. Late!!
