Most fall in the 13.3 to 13.7 range. It makes since because the 370Z has a few more ponies and a little less weight but the 'stang has gobs more torque. I'd expect the 370Z to pull away on the top end a bit. Next year the 'stang is a total game changer on any straight line stuff if the weight stays in control. Camaros and Challengers are gonna get their asses handed to them. I know what you mean by upping HP through the cycle, but we're talking 100 HP in one fell swoop. That kinda bump isn't what you normally see in the same model.


EDIT: I just realized you're talking about a 2009 Mustang. I was talking about the current one which is a noticeable improvement over the older model.
I think Im a little confused, the GT is getting a 100 HP increase? I thought it was only going from 300 to 315 which would put it in the 370 Z range then. Or is the GT500 getting the 100 HP?
