I guess you didn't read the fanboy spoiler alert.

I think the OP did an honest & good review of both cars. An open mind is an intelligent one as well.

The OP is a Z enthusiast who's needs have changed, nothing wrong with him buying another car. I for one, appreciate him taking the time out to share his experience with the GT. Who better suited to do this than one who was just a recent Z owner?

My 370Z > Your GT

w0rM · 10-11-2012, 09:14 PM

I'm not a fan of the Mustang mostly because they're just so common and so big. It does seem like a pretty good alternative to the Z though and I have to say, yours looks awesome.

Thanks for the write up! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts after some track time.

I prefer my stangs as blacked out as possible in order to make it seem less "stang" like, but to each their own.

Good luck, I'm envious of that v8.

I don't really have anything against the 5.0, I just hate the fact everyone and their mom has one. It's like the traditional national American car to buy if you want a sports car.

and the fact that most their owners will rev their engine trying to drag race you any chance they get to show off their "muscle"

I love the fact that you have torque ready with the Coyote 5.0 though.. must be nice at times

brucelidat · 10-12-2012, 01:07 AM

I like and respect the 5.0. It's not my cup of tea, but I acknowledge it's a great car. If the styling was more sports car-ish and less muscle (and maybe if mustangs were a bit less common), I might be tempted. If I was to get a muscle car, though, it would definitely by a 5.0 over any of its American rivals.

Although, the thought of a 5.0 for a DD sounds intriguing...

The Mustang has the highest resale value in its class and reliability is as good as if not better than the Z. In fact, if you compare my Z to my 5.0 only the Z has failed to start (steering lock failure).

Haters gonna hate.

Yeah it's actually cheaper to buy a 5.0 w/Brembo pkg new than it is used. At least that's how it was the last time I checked. They are surprisingly hard to find in the used market.

lemon-fresh · 10-12-2012, 10:27 AM

Interesting, not the case in Alberta. 09 370 sport goes for around the same price as a 11 5.0. There is still a lot of mustang hate up here.

My apologies.

DCNISMO · 10-12-2012, 07:31 AM

If I were to move out of the Nismo, I would get the Boss. Either a used Laguna or a new base Boss. My first car wa a 66 Stang coupe with a 4 speed and power nothing and drum brakes.

Tazicon · 10-12-2012, 11:33 AM

Very nice write up, but I have to ask how old you are? I am 48 and I do not have issues with getting in and out of the Z. I love being low to the ground! Anyway the new Mustangs are flippin nice when they have the track package they are great. Being an old Mustang kind of guy I am glad they stepped up their game from just sheer HP. I won't be buying one anytime soon but they are nice these days.

Just a quick edit: I will say that as far as American muscle I would only go the the Stangs. Ford to me is on their game while other companies are playing catch up.
