I was messin with them at the moment of that post... at least the one you quoted... they are HUGE contributors and many of you should be greatful they are here... but that's a genral statement has little to do with this generic thread.

I'm still waiting on that article. You're not going to back away from this one.

It's obvious he made the numbers up. And his strategy now is to wait until this thread gets locked (it should have been locked when it was started, but that's an entirely different story) so he can avoid the embarrassment of being proven ignorant and wrong.

All you're doing is saying what I said and rewording it then arguing the wrong point. Anyway, the 87 is off track. The numbers come from a MT comparo when they did both maneuvers on street and track. Comparing pre 2010 mustang to the 2011. The pre 2010 broke .79 on the street and 87 on the skid. The 2011 broke .95 on the skid. .87g on the road. I haven't driven the brembo stang, but the 5.0 gt premium that is the same price as my current car. I felt Z handled better but the stang was good. How does the Brembo Z compare to a NISMO. The NISMO breaks up to 1.02g on the pad.Anyway,
"I'm sure if we FI'd the Z to 420hp/360lb torque, we'd be on the heels of an M3 as well. "
The camaro is faster than us around a track too... doesn't make the camaro a better handler. My guess is what you call better is the torque taking you out of the turn better than the Z and the chassis being balnced enough to absorb it. The ONLY way to really know? Is to FI the Z to the same power level as the stang and see how the Z responds coming out. Anyway, how many mustangs did you own before you bought a Z and went back to stang????

JDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMJDMDJDMJDMJ DMJDMJDMJDMJDM

actually the FI Z would overheat and not even make it around one lap.

QUESTION???

Does the Mustang Forum Suck that Bad that even After they buy a Stang they Stay here to Throw Mustang TidBits down to Z owners????? Or is it really some type of David Quoresh subliminal, force-feeding of mustang bullsh1t to boost sales and try to beat Camaro popularity???
Or is it you guys wish you guys kept your Z's but greatly wish you did a 5.0 engine swap and you're trying to beat 5.0 in our brains so someone will do it?
Or are you guys trying to master SUBLIMINAL-TROLLING????

I call all of the above.

they are called car enthusiasts. m4a1mustang mentions in his posts that the Z is better in some regards, but you, as a fanboy, cannot accept that another similarly priced car could be better in some way. So when another car is better, you come up with some convoluted way of rationalizing how the Z could be better given a set of hypothetical circumstances. or just talk about how that car that is better in some way is just overpriced german snob car, or some american redneck crap, or _________(insert excuse here)

I for one think the Z interior is very nice..maybe my expectations are not high enough or something. I dont expect a porsche interior because it doesn't cost like a porsche

Interior is subjective but you're right, the Z's is very well done.

skidpad numbers
2011 gt 5.0: 0.94 g (2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 - Short Take Road Test - Car Reviews - Car and Driver)

2010 z roadster (which is claimed to be the same handling-wise as a coupe): 0.99 g (2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster Touring First Test - Motor Trend)

...meh?

i don't even get wtf this argument is about anymore.

Spikuh · 01-03-2012, 04:55 PM

Glad to see that after a slow start, this thread has begun to pick up some steam.

Just gonna sit back and

until she reaches her dramatic conclusion.

TerribleONE · 01-03-2012, 04:56 PM

Not gonna read through every page but lol at this OP... I find the Zs interior to be much nicer than the mustang unless the fact you can change your interior light colors is all you need.. As for which is a better "sports" car I'd take the Z hands down

brucelidat · 01-03-2012, 05:00 PM

can't we all just get along?
