Our Z vs New Mustang 5.0

Yes. They ran 11s with those bolt ons. And with street tires, they trap much higher than the 370z. So those stop light runs won't be as close as you may think. On the track? Well we just have to wait and see. They handle very well.

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

No, you're crazy! The Z roadster pulled 1g in the lastest Motor Trend comparo.

These threads are getting annoying. The new 5.0 is great no looking past that. If you are worried about how the Z will deal with it in a straight line go F.I. but frankly if you really worried about straight line performance why did you get a Z? I got it for the overall drive appeal. If I wanted a big and heavy American car I would have got the Mustang. However I enjoy the superior control and grace associated with the Z. Want to beat a Mustang? F.I. or Nitrous should do it for you. I don't know why this continues, Ford was shooting for the Camaro and Challenger not the Z. How do you compare a 2 seater sports car to a 4 seater GT car?
