Shouldn't you go there to drive the cars BEFORE you buy them?


I'm just saying...

I test drive them before, but this is area is more than a few hours from home. Its a weekend journey. When I go I normally do it over a 3 day weekend and hit many of the roads in the area. Same with when I go run canyons in SoCal. I don't do that for the test drive but I do take each car down there to see how they do.

Get the NISMO or Coupe "auto", don't get the manual. The 2015 Z's are faster down to 12.7 s. The Z ET's just as fast through the 1/8th as the Boss. The Z handles 2X as good, gets better MPG's, brakes better & has better aero. The Boss is all hype & all it does is goes straight.


Car 330'
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.50 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.55 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.60 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.63 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.68 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.69 s Winner
Stock 370Z Coupe 5.74 s Winner
Upgraded Mustang 5.0 5.74 s Lost
Upgraded Mustang 5.0 5.77 s Lost
N/A Mustang 5.0 5.98 s Lost
N/A New Mustang V6 6.31 s Lost
N/A Mustang 4.6 (Last Gen) 6.32 s Lost
Charger R/T V8 6.48 s Lost


That 5.0 has 3.73 gears, 20" wheels, tires, tune, Steeda intake, weight drop, fuel drop, & Racing Exhaust. It didn't win 1 single 0-60, 330', or 1/8th.

GET THE Z!...because the next one is coming in at 12 flat.

Why would a 2015 Z 1/4 time drop down to 12.7 from 13.3 with all the previous years? The Z hasn't had any performance upgrades done to it.

Have to be honest here to a fellow member. The Boss Stang is pretty sweet, has the power, the ride, handling etc etc. But at the end of the day it is still a Mustang. The Nismo is freaking awesome as well. Fun to drive good power, handling is nice. But it is still a 370z. The one key difference for me is that are so many Mustangs on the road already, I rarely see 370's, let alone Nismos. Drive them both and see which you like better.

This thread died in June of 2013 until some jackass decided to bump it trying to troll. I'm sure the OP made his decision a long time ago.

Yes it has! More aggressive gear ratios and suspension upgrade. It's 13.1 for the 14 and below auto. You can make a car much faster just with these upgrades.

Depends what you want from the car. I had a friend of mine who bought a Boss for road racing and ended up trading the car in 2 months later. He said it was fast and handled decently but he got bored of it rather quickly.

Ok, I can see 13.1 with the new 3.9 ratio, but I'm not buying 12.7 stock, no way.. not consistently anyways.

They changed the gear rations in manual or auto? And is this just for 15s?
