Official '11 Mustang GT vs 370z Thread

[wilsonp]

I think the new GT looks are improved, but I wish it looked more like the prototype did when it first came out.

Well, front engine was enough compromise for me, four seats would be going too far!

Comparing C&D specs for my favorite 370Z & the GT, they don't seem that far off:

                                 Mustang               370Z        
Zero to 60 mph:                    4.6 sec               4.6 sec        
Zero to 100 mph:                  11.0 sec              11.3 sec        
Zero to 130 mph:                  19.8 sec              21.1 sec        
Street start, 5–60 mph:            5.1 sec               5.1 sec        
Standing ¼-mile:                  13.2 sec @ 109 mph    13.1 sec @ 108 mph        
Top speed (governor limited):     146 mph               156 mph        
Braking, 70–0 mph:                153 ft                161 ft        
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad:  0.94 g                0.91 g

Though Roadholding and Braking for the 370Z seems a little sad.

the 0-60 on that mustang looks a bit slow, should be more of the low 4 second range

C&D's test mustang didn't have the 3.73 rear end. They literally got the worst numbers for the Mustang I've ever seen and tied for the best for the 370Z. C&D must love them some ferin cars.
