the 4.6 was absolute trash.
370 would take it everytime.
The mustang became a car to consider only after 2010. Ever since thn they been trying harder and harder and pissing off their year old customers every year since thn.

Bottom line is that he said its a balance between quality and performance. I'd say they're equal in quality but the mustang beats the 370z in performance. Which one would I pick? The 370. But that doesn't mean it's a better car. Performance is defined by how well the car does when it's pushed to its limits and how well it takes the abuse in my opinion. The Z should've came with a factory oil cooler for sure. iys all personal preference. But the mustang out performs the Z. Turns and straight away. Still love the Z don't get me wrong. Waiting to see the next model.

That 4.6 was more competitive to a 350 DE, later on the HR. Not a chance against a 370 though.

Yes the mustang is faster. ( compare the v6 mustang to a Z and thn laugh at ford. this would be a fairer comparison) However the Z still stands its ground even against a V8. I believe thats a pretty good car.

If there is one thing i hate about the mustang, is that they keep upgrading every year. I would never buy a mustang for that one reason. They are just simply tryhards.
Most of us here know that the 370z is slower thn the v8 mustang, We still went ahead and bought the Z. IDK about america but here they are pretty much the same cost and gas is negligible so i had no reason not to buy the mustang. Infact, I had better options thn these.
But i love the Z, And i am sure many here feel the same, It doesnt matter to anyone here because if they want faster, They will go Forced induction.

Ask my sister, And she will tell you that the mini cooper is better thn the GTR. You will not be able to prove anything otherwise.
It depends from one person to another, We chose our cars with our gut.

I agree with you 100%. . They're in different classes. We shouldn't be comparing the two. but to say "idiots buy the mustang to go fast in a straight line" is the dumbest **** ever.

Also. Since when did all the 2012+ Z's come with an oil cooler? Mine *had one and i didn’t know it*. Nissan made the kit available as an option but that was all I saw.

WE ALL BOUGHT THE Z because we liked it. But there is a lot of people in this thread bashing something they know nothing about. I'm sure a few of you have driven one. I Bet the rest of you haven't even sat down in one b

Lol yes I know I was just busting balls. That's why I put LOL. we can sit and go back and forth all day about it. My opinion is that if you just want a fast car. Buy te mustang. If you want something for a good drive and looks sexy the Z. That's just my opinion.

Gregor12 · 04-06-2015, 09:33 AM

Yall need to chill a bit hahaha the 4.6 and old suspension set up was a like a boat. I had to troll a little. The DE 350 still put down better times I think haha

This is false. In 2010 they released what everyone thought would be the new thing. After finishing the 5.0 coyote, they dropped the bomb in 2011. Yes the 2010 customers got shafted. Just like when Nissan went from DE to HR in one year. That's part of buying a car. You always take that risk. The mustang didn't change at all from 2011 to 2014. The new 5.0 isn't that much better performance wise either. They just introduced the IRS along with a Ecoboost edition, and new interior. Yes I know it's still a jump in upgrades

Remember the 2008 Wrx that made 225hp and then the 2009 came with the vf52 turbo and made 265. All car companies do this. It's how they make money haha. Nissan did a good job with the 370. It was fast enough in a straight line. It handles amazing. And came pretty track ready with the exception of an oil cooler. So they held their ground and didn't need to change anything. Few bugs here and there but that's about it. But now the 2015 Z owners are going to be upset when the 2016 releases if they do what they said they would.

Exactly what I was going to post. It's an oil to water cooler - incidentally, just like what the Mustang GT and Boss 302 have.

good to know. still ran hot as ****. a few times in the summer it got so hot that i lost throttle response and i could feel a big loss in power. was going to go stillen since my buddy with a auto 370z dynos with my and stayed around 180 while I was over 220 after a few 5th gear pulls. so can you run an aftermarket oil cooler as well if you have the factory one? I’m guessing you could run a feed and return and just have two oil coolers? #oilcoolersonoilcoolers

Gregor12 · 04-06-2015, 01:14 PM

let me ask this question because I’m interested to see what you guys would pick… if the 370z did not exist, what would you buy? (something you can afford, no unlimited money cheat codes here)

I bought mine when they first came out so it would have been one of the other cross shop considerations. BMW M3, A5, G37, or 335ic
