You can use this argument all you want, that doesn't make it logical. If you don't think people cross-shop the two because of rear seats and a different engine, you are out of your mind (especially considering the Mustang rear seats are virtually useless). V6 vs. V8? Comparable because they are priced similarly. The new Mustang V6 is about as fast as a G37 and will be immensely less expensive. The V8 will kill the 370Z in the straights for similar money. They are both sports cars that look good and go fast, so stop getting defensive when people compare the two.

Overall, the Mustang, performance-wise, would beat us. Good job Ford. I'm proud of ya. It's about time. Semtex, great comment above. As a lot of us have been taught, there will always be something better. (I still love the Z's looks and performance.) Don't even flex guys. Anyone out racing, watch what stock GT vs. stock 370 will do on any track. Again. I'm proud of Ford. I even like the 2011 Ford Edge Sport over my new FX35. Always something newer. That's the way it works. Some just do it better than others.
