7k miles on mine, and a drift run later, still over 60% tread left.

I wouldn't take any mustang over the Z. Dont like the looks and the new one has one of the worst looking rear's I've seen to date. Back looks boring and almost feminine.
To each their own but I'll take a Turbo'd or SC Z anyday over a mustang, just need someone to come out with an affordable kit for the masses. Camaro's and Stang's attract a different crowd, I'll stick with this one any day!

Drove my Z again today for the first time since the GT500. I like the Z's MT shifting feel MUCH better. I think the whole Z driving experience is better. I felt like I was driving a tank when I was in the GT500.

Mty 370 7 AT with a few bolt ons runs 12.8009 on street tires, Now that i have Mickey thompson drag radials for it. ir should go 12.6s. I would give them a good run at the track. The 4.08 gears help my car a lot.
Now add the GTM SC. and it will be a good race. Nice car i like the looks of the Ford Mustang.

I'm not knowledgeable on these issues, but comparing a V8 with a 6-cylinder sounds a bit off. How 'bout the 6-cyl. Mustang vs. the 370?; sounds like a more balanced race to me. BTW, IF I were to ever get an American Sports machine, it would be a Mustang. Greetings.

If you do alot of start and stop city driving and being heavy on the pedal they will last to about or near what they are rated to. Same goes with brakes as well. everyone else was replacing their Cobra Terminator OEM brakes at 20K and I didn't have to replace my OEM brakes until 52K. I am a firm believer in jake braking and brake pumping. As a result I end up only having to replace the brakes every 50K miles on any vehicle I own. |

I just looked up the Mustang and just realized that it is SC, with 540 hp. There no comparison, Even with the GTM SC, if you put the same bolt ons, tires, gears, ecu mods. The mustang will thrash the 370 z at the track. Go the to Stegmister Mustang SC site and his mustang is almost making 600rwhp. (super snake modification kit).
Nice car,

Bingo about the Mustang V8 GT. That is the correct comparison to a 370Z. Has nothing to do with number of cylinders...its the overall power and torque ratings that need to be compared.
