370z vs. 2003 mustang svt cobra

All I've got is this video

.

As I said in another thread I owned my Mustang a few hard drives ago and lost a lot of the pics. I'll have to dig through and see if I can find any saved.

Anyways, with nothing but a 4.10 gear I ran a 13.5 at only 101 with a 1.997 60'. Very low MPH for that ET, so you can see where all the time came from. I couldn't beat an LS1 in a 1/4 drag but I had a pretty good shot edging them out in the 1/8th. It was always interesting making a pass against a big power car that ran say a 13.4 @ 107. I'd rip out of the hole and then they'd eat me up past the 1000'.

With later mods I probably got the car down to the 13.1 @ 104 territory but never got it back to the 1/4.

Just comparing it to the Z, my Mustang was much quicker 0-60 and the Z is a lot faster on top end. The 99-04 Mustangs lacked the power to be real top-end monsters without boost. The 05+ are a different story, though. They are a lot more able to lay down the high traps along with the low ETs.

And when the 400+bhp 5.0 liter variation of the current 4.6 rolls around... hello!

I tested a 2010 with the "track pack" a couple months ago. It's pretty nice... it has a more aggressive gear than the standard GT and the suspension is a lot stiffer.

It doesn't *feel* as fast as the Z, but it's still pretty quick. You definitely feel the extra size and the extra few hundred pounds. But it's impressive... something like .94G skidpad and a 70mph slalom. Best handling factory Mustang in probably ever.

Ford's got the right idea with the Mustang - something I wish Chevrolet did with the Camaro. No reason that car shouldn't have been 400+ lbs lighter....
