And too much handling. It outhandles the Mustang by so much.

Remember at Zdayz when John was right on your bumper with his GoPro camera? You'd pull away in the straights, but he had you in every corner.

dat dere con fudd aunts

I just couldn't catch up to those audis, he was so mad.

I can still hear him yelling.... Dammmmmmmitttttt stevvvvveeee!!!!!
Or was that shado when....nevermind

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

Audi logo is to Steve as Red Flag is to a bull.

troof :bowrofl:

Doesn't matter what car red__zed drives, his confidence brings the HP to about even.

That's kinda funny. Car and Driver just did an article covering the best handling cars under $40,000 and it rated the mustang 3 of s6 and the Z 4 of 6.

At least until we go offroad... The the blades of grey-mobile has it

Shado was being facetious. See my user title.

He's joking:tup:


Steve left gopro imprints in bumpers of the non-believers on the dragon

:happydance:

Actually, I wrote them an angry email about that article. Not because I have hate for the stang or any other car in that comparison, but because I think they went too far in their negativity about the Z.

Like, ok, I get it, they hit limp mode and cooked the brakes, but Csaba said something like, "The 370z is simply not a good car." I mean, come on...

It was overboard.

And I've driven and ridden in 5/6 cars in that test. I'd stack the Z's handling up to any one of them. I'm not saying it's the best, but better than 4 imo.

Also, in the objective statistical results, the Z's stats were first and second across the board.

The response to that article on mustang forums was hilarious.

Oh yeah? What was it?

Laughter that all the import owners still think the Mustang can't handle.

Oh, so the same thing the three of us have been laughing about for months. :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

The thread I saw, half the mustang guys didn't beleve they didnt get dead last :rofl2:

haha, I'm surprised they didn't put the Z behind the FWD cars with all the sh1t they talked about it.

I know some of the guys were having a hard time believing it when I was explaining that the 5.0 was quicker than my 370 on The Dragon.

I think they over-stepped in the z criticisms too...but I put almost no stock in their opinions or results...so it doesn't matter.

I don't give a **** if stock brake pads don't hold up. If I track on stock pads, I deserve to hit a wall...then no mention of things like fuel starvation...sure, I pulled over 1g on my z autoXing...and then it wouldn't start to drive me home.

As crappy as it is, it's still better than a Nazi car. ;)

Yeah, brake pads and fluid... w/e. Though it is interesting that of all the cars, only the Z had issues on track. The others were fine. :/

And you're right about fuel starve...

As we're in a Z thread, I should change my tone. Hold on.

"I think the Z should have finished first in that comparison. Mustangs go straight line, Evos are only driven in the snow, and Miatas are driven by the gays."

It's funny how we get set in our ways. I was talking to a trackhead down here who is setting up a v6 stang to race...he's put down some preliminary times that are ridiculous. He came from a 350, and said he picked up like 4-5 seconds....he preferred the v6 to the 5.0 because of the balance...Seems to be working for him

Wow wow wow, Mustangs can handel!!!??

Yep. I try my best to be as open-minded as possible so I never get stuck in a fanboy rut like most people...

What's funny is, at least in my experience, the 370 gets way more respect on the Mustang forums than the Mustangs do here.

I totally respect the Mustang, I would love to own a Roush mustang one day :yum:

I always forgot about it since it is not mentioned on here much, swapped out my tires and only completed one run... Dead on second run. :facepalm:

I dunno why the z was the only one with issues though... Wonder if they saw ice mode rather than fade?

That's because Mustangs are the devil. You see, the 370Z, if you'll permit me to ramble here, is what God would drive, especially if he intended to have sex wth a successful and hot woman. Whereas the Mustang is what the Devil would drive around to kick kittens and look for anonymous gay sex in an alleyway.

That's not just slander, it's a solid fact. I got it from Ford's webste. It's just in really, really fine print.

On the good mustang forums, yes.

On others...they bitch about losing to the m3 in comparos, and there's a thread full of people that claim they'd never drive a "ricer" m3:ugh2:

Drive it like you stole it

Yeah, AFM. :bowrofl:

TMS is the best IMO. Though sometimes I have to search AFM to find some info that I can't find on TMS.

If I can say one thing I do not like about the Mustang is when you get the Brembo or the Shelby the rear caliper looks gay

this is true, i guess mainly because the mustang is now in the handeling arena where the Z was ALWAYS beating it, and straight line accel was pretty much a drivers race until the coyote motor came...theres allot less fan boying going on when you dont have to defend a vehicle

Yeah, I was talking to some folks at a car show this weekend about it. This little asian dude was like, "front brakes are so big, rear so tiny! why?"

Basically, with the small rear rotors you can fit a 15" wheel in the back with slicks. And even with the small rear brakes, they own the Akebonos! :tup:

:iagree:

I know deep in your heart you believe it to be true. Bobby Bouchet, Mustangs are the debil!

damn it :owned:

:rofl2:

Afm makes me feel like I'm back here :roflpuke2:
I don't know how ford did that...just crazy
