Heck, if the comparo was just for V6 engines, why not bring Porsche into the comparo as well? |

Because magazine/online reviewers are idiots who have no clue of what they are comparing. Oh look we have three cars with V6 engines, lets do a review of them and see the results.

A GT non-premium equated pretty well in price to a base 370Z. A Premium GT equated to a Touring. The performance package is a bit cheaper since the Stang only adds wheels, tires, and Brakes (Limited Slip Diff is standard on all stangs and no version of SRM available).

That or a lot of people have been asking about just how good the V6 Mustang is. Combine that with many cross shopping the three cars and you have grounds for a comparison. I mean, everyone does realize that while it missed its mark the Genesis coupe was designed to compete with the Z, right?

I agree, the new WRX is one hell of a value and performance wise, it isnt far off from an STI, and power potential is awesome, especially with an AP.

Let's not forget that its front wheels do some funky dance, too. In all seriousness, I test drove a WRX, and it certainly should be compared to the Z, Genny, Camaro, Mustang, etc. |

All I know is that if you are a CAR GUY first and not a brand-whore d-bag like some people tend to be these are AWESOME times.
I'd love to have a Z, Genesis Coupe, Mustang GT, Evo, STi, etc. all sitting in my garage. These cars each do certain things better than others, but guess what, they all do everything WELL and they are FUN and EXCITING.

For me I could live with just a Z & a Mustang GT, both can be driven at any time but point them each in a different direction.

Even the hatches these days are hotter. The GTi, the Mazdaspeed3... It's a good time to be an enthusiast. |

Back on the Mustang V6 topic... it's pretty wild that the V6 Mustang will be a low-mid 13 second car with bolt ons!

Agreed! The MS3 is pretty sweet... a little bit of utility with that wagon design.
