Official '11 Mustang GT vs 370z Thread

[Shamu]

I used to think the 370Z was a big car until I saw it next to a Mustang like in the picture I posted above. Makes you realize your really dealing with two differnt classes of cars. One a medium size sporty sedan from Ford and the other a sports car from Nissan. Its a wonder that the Mustangs do as well as they do on track. They just look so big and clumsy in comparison.

When you look at manual tranny Mustang GT they weigh just over 3600 lbs with a 54/46 weight distribution. Thats a lot of weight over the front end. Ford has done good job taming all that weight on smooth surfaces. Not so much when things start to get twisty and bumpy.

Both cars have their places. I see Mustang as more of a Summer cruiser and drag race car and 370Z as more of an enthusiast drivers car.
