Getting back to the original question:
Yes I am happy with the motor, and I have gone through a lot of steps and am currently have a supercharger. Transmission Nissan needed to look at much deeper, they did some good upgrades with the motor form the 3.5L to the 3.7L, but the transmission is still rubbish.
Power the other cars are getting?
Hardly, the Evo/subbie guys have a 4 banger turbo from factory, it is fairly easy to throw on some upgrades and supporting mods to get big dyno numbers but that is all it is. The Mustang is a solid car, I bought my Z in 09 so the 5.0 was still in the testing phase and no one knew exactly what we were going to get. Would I get a 5.0 today if I had the choice between it & the Z? Probably not, I would go a completely different route all together.
