Official '11 Mustang GT vs 370z Thread

You have to stop posting before you get an aneurysm, Al.

Since I've had both I will say stock-for-stock, if traction is not a problem, the 370 isn't even close to the 5.0 in a straight line run. But traction is a huge problem with the 5.0, so it makes it a driver's race in that if the 5.0 driver is not on his game a properly driven 370 could easily get a good enough jump that the 5.0 couldn't overcome in 1/8 or 1/4 mile.

The 5.0 is basically a very low 12 second car running on high 12 second tires.

It's fun sometimes on the Mustang forums because every now and then you'll get a guy who thinks a 370 is a "sure thing," but then I have to educate them on jnaut, z eliminator, b1ades, etc. The Z can get into the 12s (and probably the high 11s on slicks) with bolt-ons and great driving. That's enough to serve some humble pie to a driver of any car who thinks he's hot stuff behind the wheel but doesn't have the skill to back it up.
