Car wars- Mustang, 370's, Camaros, Challengers...

I have a 3.7 L mustang (only 18, want my 5.0 already though) and I think it is a very impressive car. It looks good and in my opinion looks better than the camaro.

I think the 5.0 Mustangs are amazingly nice cars. I have lurked here a bit and it seems that the 370 guys are a little envious of the power of the mustang. It seems that yall say the mustang is brute power, but it is actually a very nimble car for what it is. Tons of aftermarket suspension is available and these things can handle.

370z are really nice cars. I wouldn't mind owning one myself. They are good handling and make nice power. Very quick cars and are pretty beastly with people slapping tt's on them. I think they look really nice too and look closest to the porsche. But the interior in my opinion is definitely the weak link of the car for me and where you see its a Nissan. They really need to work on that, get rid of that orange on all the gauges and stuff and mellow it out. Simplicity is sometimes the best way to go.

Camaro in my opinion looks pretty fugly. Especially in yellow and that horrendous lime green. Yall think the Nissan can outhandle the Mustang?
I think the camaro would look pretty foolish. Overall they are impressive with their horsepower numbers, but just not my thing. Along with the Z, the interior needs work definitely.

Challenger, well they should not even be mentioned with any of these cars. Gigantic cars. Overweight. Terrible hp numbers. Terrible handling. Nice interior, which makes their owners turn to the ''its more of a luxury car" defense. Luxury? Not with that Dodge emblem on the car.

Sexondly,you're reacting to the comment I made in another thread. I said the "Drivers Compensate Skill" for brute force. In that same thread I disputed the mustang as being a real sports car and for those who don't believe??? Test a 302BOSS.
As far as v8 envy, you're on the wrong site bruh... our v6's at 3.7 ltrs are seeing four and a half second sprints to 60 and 13 second quarters with automatic Z's that only have aftermarket air filters and premium synthetic. Full bolt on Z's get 12.6 quarter time!!! NO f.I. needed, We do it on a v6POWER? Show us another v6 doing it under $45k??? Definately not your 3.7.
Honestly, looks wise, both challenger and camaro look wayyyyy better UNLESS its my baby, the BOSS... She's the hottest mustang in 38 years.... But neither are f**kin with the Ford 5.0 powerplant.
As far as our v6's. I think most of us are just happy to be driving a 6 that for the most part compares to v8 power in track times.. we don't have to beat or be jealous of 5.0's. We give challenger R/T's and camaro SS's something to worry about with a third less displacement. So where's the envy??? Lastly, we actually hit the 1g mark. Not almost? Not close. The. 11's and up hit it with the sport pkg. If we had to envy anyone on this planet of cars. The only car to envy when you drive a Z.... A Porsche. And honestly. Not feeling much envy when I see porsche's.

I haven't seen any members who switched to v6 stangs, only to the 5.0 which we all acknowledge as a great car.
