Prospective Owner

Hey guys names Corey, I am in the market for a new car and I have grown to love the new style of the 370z. I currently own a 2011 Mustang V6 and I am getting kinda of tired of it. No mods really left to do except FI. So basically I am looking for that last little push to go out and buy a new 2012 z. What are some pro's and con's with the z? Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I will have a new z in the driveway soon.

No one has any Pro's or Con's on the Z?

My current car.

Hi. Reading is a great way to find out things. The search button also works well.

sc55509 · 03-02-2012, 06:17 PM

Thanks man I understand that, this is not my first rodeo on a forum. Searching for pro's and con's is a lot harder to do on a forum than searching for parts. Just thought I would ask on here instead of wasting away a few hours of searching but I understand.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic.

Pro: It doesn't look like a Mustang.

I will give you that. One reason I started looking at the Z is because it was not as boring to look at compared to the mustang. Con could be the lack of power? I have always heard that the Z is a little slower than what most people think they are.

the Z will easily walk a V6 mustang (even a 2011) in a straight line.

not as boring to look at AND there are FARRRRRRRRR fewer on the road vs the 100s of stangs and comaros you see everyday vs maybe 5-6 Z's :P

Yea you do see a whole lot of mustangs everywhere. As for the power, it doesn't really bother me that it will be a little slower. No offense but a 370z walking a 2011 sixer is a little far fetched. I raced a 370 on a drag strip twice last summer and the z was not to close behind by the end of it.

Then the guy couldn't drive. The mustang is good for mid-to- high 13s. The z with an equivalent driver/equivalent conditions is running 13.3-13.5 with a extra couple of mph.
