Everyone wants to compare imports to muscle cars because back in the 90's i4 and v6 imports were faster than domestic v8's. Those "Fast and Furious" days are over though.

No they aren't. I beat them quite often at the strip. Drivers race bro

You can say that about anything. I'm sure Stig could beat me and my Z around Summit Point in a Fiat. That doesn't mean the Fiat's a fast car or that I'd ever want one.

^ that I would like to watch for a dollar! Lol

No you can't. A fiat against a z at the drag strip? Please. I don't really know why the few Z owners here do not think this is possible. Yes the mustangs are fast cars no doubt but the Z is a very quick car and with that being said our Z's are getting down there quicker but not faster. It's a drivers race as I said stock for stock and it's usually reaction time and launch that the Z excels in thus that .5 second advantage at the tree results in a win. So yea it becomes a drivers race between these two. The last mustang I raced ran a 13.1 to my 13.5 but I got the win. Hope this makes sense to those who don't race.

Summit isn't a drag strip.

But I would still get more ladies, hence I win

Zcup · 12-29-2014, 07:06 PM

Mustangs too common. Seems like every third car you see on the road is a Mustang! The Z is better looking IMO and a head turner because you just don't see a lot of them. I live in a major city and own a bright red 370z coupe and have yet to see another one on the road in that color. I'm sure they are around, but uncommon. That's the point.

Also, the Mustang may be a bit faster, until you throw in some twistst and turns and then the Z is going to own it.

Agreed.

Don't agree. Have you ever driven a modern Mustang? It sounds like you haven't.

Not sure your definition of "modern", but I drove a 2010 Mustang GT (brother's car) and it did not corner like my Z. Maybe they've improved since then.

Dreadnaught · 12-29-2014, 09:10 PM

I drive Mustangs on a regular basis at the Ford dealership I work at since I'm an apprentice. The fit and finish on the Mustangs are not the best. The build materials are cheap in my opinion and that's not to say the Z doesn't have any. It feels like you're driving a tank when you're in a Mustang as well. The 5.0's are great motors which produce horsepower power and torque. The 2015's got a boost in power as well.

As for the V6 Mustangs, they are blah in most category's.

The new I4 Mustang is something that catches my eye. It puts out over three hundred horsepower and three hundred foot pounds of torque.

Hotrodz · 12-29-2014, 08:45 PM

Here is the deal...there is no way the Z, boosted are not is going to run with a pony car that is boost or of equivalent power from a standing start...the Z is not made that way, but from a roll I can run with the best of them and have left plenty of them wanting. There is always someone faster, but I'm with brother Clifford anytime I go to a dealership, including Nissan everyone comes out stares at my girl regardless of the Vetts, GTR's or Mustangs on the lot. The best compliment I ever got while at a dealership (Nissan) was when I got an alignment after dropping Nismo on coil overs! They had the car on the lift as high as it would go and all the techs and suits were under it admiring the turbo and exhaust setup and a gentleman in the waiting lounge ask another customer about how long he had been waiting and he said "Everything was moving quickly until that sports car showed up...I hope they get back to work soon!" I just smiled and nodded.

I am a Mustang fan, but I love the older models...to each their own. Love the one your are with and those you want to be with.

50% of the reason I bought my NISMO is because of how beautiful it looks.

IMO one of the top 5 best looking cars of all time is the 1967 GT350 Mustang. If I had lots of $$ I'd do a full resto-mod with coil-overs and a blown Coyote 5.0.
