Falken Azenis RT-615K vs. Azenis RT-615 Comparison by Tyler McQuarrie
 

I found a couple of cool vids.

YouTube - The Falken Azenis RT-615K, How Much Faster Is It?



Very impressive stuff.:driving:

you beat me to it!!! Good video.

Bad thread name :)

The Falken 615K test I also saw earlier today. It's nice to see some more sticky street tire options opening up.

The Z was a half second slower then the Mustang around the track but they were also using the heavier roadster instead of the coupe, and oddly skinny tires.

Cool video! The second video is a repost, and whats up with all these post about the new mustang anyway, isnt this a 370z board?

we are all car guys. these new mustangs are taking over all car forums i have been on.

Sorry. I didnt think it was that big of a deal. I enjoy all cars and what they have to offer. For what it is worth I still like the Z better. I have all the respect for what this new mustang can do, but I just cant stand the way it looks. the old hatchbacks are still my favorites.

I agree. I wish they would have used the coupe also. The roadster also had the nav. Isnt the roadster with the nav the heaviest Z possible?

Nice vids. I have seen the Mustang drag one but hadn't seen the Falken vid yet. Very cool. I'd like to see the Mustang haters address all that excessive body roll and the ridiculously slow track times on the Mustang. :)

It's almost 300 lbs heavier than a base. The point of the video was to compare tires, but they didn't make a very good match up between the two cars. For the price of a roadster they could have put a Nismo on the track.

No apology needed, i was just throwing my thoughts out there nothing against you. I did find the videos interesting!:tup:
Also we do have an ongoing thread for the new mustang in the other cars section if your interested http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicle...ang-5-0-a.html

Damn, are you serious? That means the 2 were almost the same weight in the vid.

2010 Nissan 370Z vs. 2010 Nissan 370Z vs. 2011 Ford Mustang

Scroll down to curb weight. I guess it's closer to 275, but still.

It still looks like the tires are nice though. :icon17:

Actually the curb weight of the 6sp base coupe (I'm guessing without sport package) is listed as 3232 while the curb weight of the 6sp roadster is 3426 so the difference at the base car level is less than 200. The touring package adds 46 to the coupe and 71 to the roadster (likely the different seats) so when the comparing touring versions the roadster weighs in at around 220 more.

One thing that may be confusing the issue is that the roadster requires touring to get the sport package so a base couple with sport does weigh 270 some pounds less than the roadster with sport package

As much as I love my Z, I can't help but love the sound of a V8.

wow.. 1 second quicker with the new tires? Great results :tup:
