there is more to drag racing than just horsepower and torque, you have to take into account gearing, power to weight, FD, aero, ect.

a 5.0 mustang weighs close to 3700lbs with no extra addons like nav, sound, ect.
a 370z base weighs 3200lbs touring weighs somewhere around 3300lbs with a 7at and the nismo 370z is around 3300lbs(maybe a little less by ging off nissans advertised 9.4:1 power to weight ratio that puts the nismo at 3290), not to mention we have better gearing than the mustang
