Steve, I think you're forgetting the "Live Rear Axle". Therefore, all your points are moot.

No. From what I hear, that is the total package, the best bang for the buck for under 100k.

actually, the mustang's performance is impressive as hell.

You should drive one of the Brembo equipped cars.

The regular ones are pretty nice but throw in some stiffer springs/shocks, GT500 control arms, and PZero summer rubber and it's pretty much the same as the 370.

I looked at the mustang before getting my Z. My only beef with the mustang, which applies to almost all of the sports cars in this price range other than the Z, is the huge range of models. The most common mustangs on the road have v6 engines, single-tip exhaust, etc. When you see another Z on the road, the driver is most likely a car enthusiast. When you see a mustang on the road, the driver is most likely a woman.

But still, on its own, the new GT seems like a great car.

Dinky they may be, but they would still be a driver's race for other 6-bangers like the 370Z.

It'd still be a driver's race for a Z vs. a GT. The driver makes the biggest difference in any race.

You can argue that it would be a driver's race against a Viper, too, if you like, but the point remains that the 370Z NISMO only made it around VIR 1/2 second quicker than a V6 mustang that bounced off the rev-limiter at 114mph all down the straights.

With even a semi-competent driver, the GT is going to walk the 370Z. Sure, anyone can blow a launch, but assuming noone messes it up too bad...

thats when that 5.0 badge comes in handy

but i agree, when you see a 370, hell a Z car in general more than likely they are an enthusiast. I will miss that...
