I'd drop it if it was just about who is "right" and who is "wrong." I've passed on a number of nonfactual claims in here because they aren't coming from a false place of authority. |

to bring up a mustang comment you feel is false on a Z forum. Shouldn't potential mustang owners look for truth in the Mustang forums. Shouldn't you be in a mustang forum helping your mustang brothers instead of trolling on a Z forum. You are not the information savior of this forum. We have plenty of guys that know just as much as you and throw it out there in a much more constructive fashion. More important than a informed Z forum is a united Z forum, before we share information, we share love for our cars first. Some of us don't get along. We add guys to the iggy list etc... But what brings us together first is our love for our cars. Not how inferior our cars to mustang. I'm done

Still grasping at straws to draw attention away from the fact that you are caught in a lie? Nobody here is talking about "370Z inferiority..." well...except for you. I'm correcting blatant falsehoods, like: Quote:
Is a well-sorted one superior? Absolutely. Is a poorly sorted one better? Absolutely not. Is a particular multi-link better than a particular SRA? It's pretty hard to say, and depends a lot on your use case. This is probably pretty difficult for you to grasp, when you make claims about the existence of an article that compares "street grip" to "track grip," as if there was some sort of standard that could be used to evaluate a variety of road surfaces broadly. Are we talking about the battle-scarred roads of NJ, or SD...or Florida? Or California's concrete highways? And are we comparing to Laguna Seca or VIR? The Ring? Not only is such a study infeasible, unrealistic, and completely lacking in value...it would never be bothered with on such a specific car, as you claim. But sure, you can chalk this up to some "mustang vs Z" thing, when the guys at the center of it don't own Mustangs and haven't for a while. I have no hose in this race (pun obviously intended), and you are welcome to continue to spread your misinformation as much as you please...but please at least qualify it as your opinion rather than verified fact. |

So you're mad at my current comment and brought up a 2 year old post to kinda give you some validity... Listen to Randy's comments on LA vs IRS on the camaro and mustang comparo. AND WATCH EACH SYSTEM IN ACTION. The proof is in the vid.
LA has it's advantages in some applications though. I'm not going to discuss that though with you because you don't deserve the respect of having a dicussion with. Done with troll iggy list updated.

Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. Either that or you're attempting a rather bold strawman. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you've failed to read, rather than claim you're being malicious. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by...well...nevermind. Anyways, I will provide my post again here for your scrutiny. Can you dig out the pile of insults, because I sure can't find them. You're putting words in my mouth that aren't there. I'd choose a well-sorted IRS over an SRA 9 time out of 10, and I've never said any different. (I will keep my solid axles for wheelin' tho) Quote:

There are far more dynamics at play as to why an enthusiast would also purchase said car. Not to burst any bubbles... but the 370z's main competition is the Genesis coupe, Mustang GT, and Camaro SS. Price is not everything, you are correct, but you also may want to consider brand imaging, weight distribution, power to weight ratio, braking performance, suspension configuration, quality of materials used, cost of ownership, and overall performance under constant use. I somehow doubt the Porsche will have the heat soak issues the 370z does... I'll also consider a Z the next time I'm shopping for an NSX... Can a Mustang GT hang with a V8 M3? yes... Do majority of people who own an M3 think of owning a Ford Mustang? lol probably not... EDIT: also please note at no point am I attempting to discredit the 370z... its a great platform, offers impressive bang for the buck in the area it was designed to contend. I just think people should be aware, the 370z is a 370z... not a Porsche. They are more costly for a reason. EDIT: *Flame suit on!*

You're one friend... is just that... one. My friend just so happens to be a Ford service manager... and he loves the things. Does this counter you're statement equally?

but I feel the Z offers more feedback at the steering wheel and the Z's seating position aids in the car feeling much more engaging. Mustang steering wheel feels muted in corners and missing the feeling of connection to the road. The mustang is faster in every way and can essentially do the same job. But the z feels better doing it.
