37Z vs Mustang 5.0

jaedub · 03-16-2011, 05:03 AM

Theres no way you can have more fun in mustang than 370z. 370z is hella fun car to drive hands down. 370z is a sports car. 5.0 is all out muscle/torque. It'll beat the 5.0 on track no problem. Ofcourse the 5.0 will beat 370z in straight. There are plethora of differences.

But wanna know my honest opinion?

I really think you shouldnt get neither of these 2 great cars. No 370z....why? cuz you got kids. No mustang....why? its a horrible family car that has 2 doors (rear seat being cramped....not a pleasant ride for the kids)

I really suggest something like 4 door g37s sedan or mercedes C or E class, Audi A4, etc... They might be a bit more than 370z or mustang but i think its a better deal. Because I think youre looking for a affordable, sporty, good looking, and practical car for you and your family.

I really want you to get 370z because its a great car and i really think its a better car than the 5.0. But the honest answer is LOOK FOR A SEDAN

The Mustang 5.0 is a lot faster than the 370 on track. It will walk away from a 370 on a road course given equally skilled drivers.

The only thing I agree with you on is that the 5.0 is not a good family car. Yes, it has back seats, but it's in no way a feasible family car. A quick, sporty sedan would be a much better choice.

If it's not going to be your primary "hauling the kids around" car then it's fine, but anything other than some quick trips it's really not that great.

When considering a car for myself, the top 3 criteria are price, performance, and looks. All three have to be good for me to buy it. I wouldn't want to get a car that has only 2. I wouldn't be able to stand getting a car that I thought didn't look good, I would hate looking at it. It's a good thing most high performance cars look good anyway

Some people don't care about having all out best performance in their car because that's only really useful if you're going to track it. In that case, looks, status, and comfort become bigger deciding factors.
