You have to be a moron to think that just about any car these days will fall apart that soon. I know he's probably just being a smartass, but c'mon. Ford ranks higher than Nissan in quality and has for some time.
I know from owning both cars that the Z is not built better than the Mustang and the Mustang is not built better than the Z. They both use the same high quality materials and a Premium GT is very comparable to a Touring 370. I do have to say, though, that the leather-wrapped center stack on the 370 goes a LONG way on creating a posh feel, especially coupled with the faux-suede seat inserts and door cards. And it's just hard to beat Japanese ergonomics.
FWIW, the older Fords may have been built with some crappy interiors but they were far from unreliable. My sister is still driving her 2002 Mustang which has over 150,000 miles on it and has only been in for oil changes.
You can expect any mechanically sound car go to that long without issue assuming YOU take care of it properly!
*oops* BRB guys, my engine just fell out. Anyone got some duct tape?
