2011 Mustang 5.0 Turbo

Doing a motor swap might sound like a neat idea but you also got to consider how the motor effects the weight distribution especially seeing as the 370z is front heavy to begin with. Then you got to make sure the rest of the cars drive train can tolerate the added torque and heat generated by the larger my powerful motor, etc. There are many things to take into consideration.

Regarding Magazine times I’m more inclined to trust the numbers they come up with vs. some random people on YouTube, etc. Watching a car run a certain time on YouTube, Street fire, etc doesn’t prove anything. How do you know for sure that car was stock? It’s the same deal with time slips, people lie.

Magazine entities on the other hand generally have no reason (s) to make outrageous claims and do their testing in a controlled environment with state of the art equipment. Yeah some Mags come up with better numbers than others but that could be due to a number of reasons obviously. It doesn’t mean they’re full of **** per say.

What I do is find an average between several different sources and use that number as the benchmark for the particular automobile. Of course it’s not going to be the very best the car can do but it’s generally a very accurate depiction of its capabilities in general.

i was between a 370z and the new mustang, but i chose the mustang, and im not regretting my choice at all. the mustang is a great car, and the aftermarket is endless.

See excellent reasons. So I assume you went with the 5.0? I happen to like the Mustang interior about 10X more than the Zs. Almost bought a Mustang soley on that.

I was completely on the opposite opinion on interior. I liked the Z's much better than the Mustang's. O well, to each his own.

yea 5.0, i sat and drove, and being the in the mustang felt right, it was what i wanted, the extra room, the trunk space, better site in the mirrors, and the performance, and much more. i picked it up fully loaded, except nav and glass roof, and im loving every minute of it.

Even the dealer i bought from also sells nissans, and the sales rep also had a 350z, and i told him its between a 370z and the 5.0 and he said, 5.0 is more car for the price, and its what you want. Ford really stepped it up, and its ahead of the 370z.

fullmonty

Do you mind me asking where you picked it up from as the dealer I got my Z from also sells Fords?
