well if we mix apples and oranges and tomatoes and a few others we do get our V8!

So the fanboys that I was referring to earlier, need to get over it and stop being such brand whores.

Yeah...I agree completely. Honestly I'm intrigued by the new Mustang. With 8 Porsches in my past and a LS3 Corvette before the Z, I'm one of those guys that just may add one to my bucket list before I can't drive anymore....

And, yeah....I have a GTI too. A really cool driver BTW despite the fanboy sneers. a 2003 20th aniversary with 12K on her.....I just like cars, PERIOD...

Yes! Cars are my passion... I don't care what kind it is.

There are too many brand whores and status queens these days... so many people here think the Z is the king of the world forever and ever. Somehow this car that can be had for less than 30k is "exclusive." Yeah, right.

Zsteve · 05-09-2010, 02:01 PM

lets face it, if money was no object and all you had to do was go pick out your car, I dont think there would be too many people in this forum.

Cars suck. Nissans are the best ever.

I don't know where yall are from but there is something called a "Speed Limit" in Jerzey. Not saying thats the only place to drive is on the streets, but I know I wouldn't be spending every day at the track just becuz I have a V8 Mustang..or car for that matter. The Z is enough of a car for me

Man I just came back from NJ for work and man do I hate to drive there. No left hand turns, WTF? Damn jug handles. Makes me like the wide open space of TX.

You're crazy. The stang pulled a .97 on the skid pad. It is another animal on the 1/4. It is almost full second faster than the 370 in the 1/4.

The 370 is a nice car, but you can't bash the stang. Sorry.

Sure we can cuz we are in a Z forum that rules over all cars cuz we said so.

I think a quite a few folks here do hang out over at NAGTROC. If what the recent buyers have been saying is true, you can get a new 2010 GTR for $70K -72K plus tx and fees since the 2011 have been out already. So for Cali, that's roughly about $78K otd. Pretty tempting.

I know I should get my head examined, oh well.

Here's a thought to make matters even more convoluted:

There's another thread right now discussing the possibility of a 2.5L V6 in a detuned Z. If Nissan offered a smaller displacement V6 like a new 3.0 or up to a 3.5 with direct injection and a factory turbo, I would definitely take this over a Mustang V8. Globs of torque and HP and the Z handling and fit and finish. Considering all the Germans are so heavily into turbos it's kind of curious why Nissan won't go this route.

tradition

and 72K is very tempting for the GTR

Anyway I bet the Z would do just fine up against a Stang on the track. Look at the stats. Besides MotorTrend that got crazy high numbers some how 12.8 in the 1/4 the Stang is just about as fast as the Z.

No. The stang is THAT fast. People have been putting down those numbers already. They have cracked 11s now with minor bolt ons too.

Here's the video of Evo performance and what they did with the stang in less than two weeks.

YouTube - Evolution Performance - First 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L 4V To Run 11's!

The first runs are bone stock. And with the ET streets the mods are
Exhaust, Tune, K&N Drop in Air Filter, upper and lower control arms and a new clutch.
