Wrong title, this is not a 370z v. Mustang video it is a 370z tire A v. 370z tire B (same thing with the Mustang).

Uhh they still both have the same tires, going around the same track. The Mustang wins. What's your point?

Yeah.. but they used the roadster. Any track tests for the roadster that proves its on par with the coupe?

Edit* also whats with the white wheels on the Z ??? Phoenix wheels? How heavy are those bad boys and why didn't they use the stockers.

Watch the video, it is about showing how the new tires improves the car without changing anything. They used two different cars, a sports car & a muscle car to show it helps on anything.

I'm with Dreamer on this one. It was never a car vs. car competition. Just shows you how the tires react on two different types of car.

And I think this was posted here a month or two ago.

Yeah its an old vid, i saw it quite some time ago. And i agree that it was not a car vs car vid. But in the end the numbers are what they are. And the mustang made it around the track faster before and after. Faster than the roadster that is... why the roadster with funky random wheels /shrug
