I would love to be able to start building a collection now... Hopefully I can snatch up some "iconic" cars before they're extinct.

Now, the Mustang's SRA will have it spinning out on erry corner. As you and I saw in Zdayz, Mustangs are fine in a straight line, but they spin out all the time unless they have a go-pro mounted on the front bumper.

Yeah, steve actually needed dual go pros to be able to keep his straight.

Uggggggggly! Had a guy in a Cayman try to race me today and I laughed. He wondered why I was laughing and I told him that my Nismo was even faster than the S version of his car.

Wasnt trying to start another hate fest, just giving props where its due. As far as the V6 mustang topend, idk. But in the reviews they have it at 5.3 / 13.8 which is what the nismo comes in at also. I hae gotten a better time but those are the consistant averages. THE NISMO IS A GREAT CAR. never regretted getting one. Fun car and if you have one you have taste, style and a certain appreciation for quality.

Been great, appreciate all the helpful tips, great site for info and sharing of information. I have no brand loyalty. I dont ever rcall any of them paying me or giving anything. Competition and choices are great you can say it makes things better.

This gen mustang is great. The last one i had was a 1990 gt that i believe had 225 hp. I boldly stuck a paxton supercharger maybe pushing 300hp???

Either way THE NISSAN Z IS A GREAT CAR but the mustang calls. For now untill tt??.
So i will :gtfo2::driving:

You don't need to GTFO man! We are just trying to say that the magazines are wrong about the NISMO. People on this forum have consistently seen regular Z's and NISMO hit very low 13's and even high 12's bone stock and the 0-60 is definitely not 5.3. It's more like 4.6-4.8. Noone here should want you to GTFO, we were simply just trying to say that the numbers you posted on the car were a bit off. If you want to, look at it this way. The NISMO is a ~3250 pound car that has 350hp. The V6 mustang is 305hp vehicle and it weighs ~3500 pounds.
It just doesn't make any sense how a car with less power and more weight can be faster in a straight line or around the turns. That's all were trying to get at.

Nah man, don't do that. Look at the healthy debate that you started. Every now and then we need a good debate to bring us back to reality. Fresh perspectives are always good to spark creative and innovative thought. My boy and I will be having the Mustang GT vs NISMO Z battle once we both hit the states. I am already upgrading and I am sure he will be just behind me in that same mentality.

My only issue with the Mustang is the amount of d-bags that they attract. I am biased though.

Ain't that the truth? :rofl2:

So a Mustang, then a Z, then a Mustang. So what you are telling us Steve, is that you have always been a d*bag. I like an honest guy :tiphat:

That is the truth, though. If you are driving car X you tend to have a bias against all of its competitors and naturally assume owners of those competing cars are d-bags until proven otherwise. Human nature.

It's true, but our inner car enthusiast can also appreciate a hot set of wheels. :tup: We all want to own them all. But until we all become multi-millionaires, we just buy the one or two that we can afford and drive the rest on Gran Turismo :icon17:

m4a1mustang 07-12-2011 09:45 AM

Yeah, you have your fanboys who tend to hate on everyone and then your car guys like us that be lovin' on errbody's wheels.
