I, for one, have not yet learned the various nuances of the 5.0 vs. the Z. I will keep reading until two or more of the following happen:
I learn what a live axel is, and what do I feed it to keep it that way? I learn if it is true that a 5.0 traveling at the legal speed limit on a gentle curve will crash into the guard rail. I determine which car is faster in reverse (unmodded of course) I become deeply familiar with the seats of each car, to the point where I can spout off statistics about bolstering, comfort, and head rest positioning I am convinced to buy a Mustang (although the magazine article has ordered my to buy a 4-door consumer grade mercedes at my age) Fearless Leader AK is convinced to buy a Mustang, renaming the forum "theformerly370zdotcomnowthesuperiorMustang5point0. com"

I thought we covered the fact that Nissan's turbo V6 weighs 150# more than GM's LS7, makes less power, and the GT-R gets the same mileage around town and 3mpg less on the highway, compared to the Z06.
It also has the complexity, cost, and heat-issues inherent to a turbo setup. |

He wasn't talking about the weight of the car, he was talking about the weight of the engines themselves. The GT-R's TTV6 is heavier than the LS7.
