I can deal with "similar".

The 5.0 is a caged bull. That's a little harder to accept.

The V6 Stang is certainly quick enough to take advantage of a poor driver (or a mistake) in the Z, but it's really not that close. I think they are running high 13s stock, so it's plausible that they could snooker a Z at the strip, but in like-for-like conditions, nope.

m4a1mustang · 10-14-2010, 11:33 AM

OK, I guess they are a little bit closer. The stock V6PP cars are dipping into the mid 13s.

Well, now we know what thread to post next to get everyone butt-hurt...

V6 Mustang vs. 370Z

Everyone is butthurt in the 370Z vs. Titanic thread.

Hey, not my fault the Titanic is better than a 370z.

We'll get DiCaprio in one and the balance will swing back to Nissan.

Definitely a head turner. They went to the bottom of the sea to check it out! Even made a movie that had boobies in it!

Wait! What age group did the magazine article say should be driving the Titanic?!? And you would you measure performance? 0-sinking? Time to quarter mile (ocean depth)? Seat bolstering (which probably makes a difference when the vehicle makes a gradual but extreme shift from horizontal to vertical)?

I was talking the base 400 hp vette not the 500 hp one. Ive seen a 11.6 1/4 mile in a GTR out there somewhere.

Why would you compare a $45K car to an $80K car? That is like me comparing the Z06 to a 370Z. Same price-spread. $35K vs. $67K.

According to one member on this board, the 370Z feels much faster in a straight line than the Z06.

closer hp wise

Anybody read the recent issue of MotorTrend? it has a review of the Boss in there, and they're claiming a 0-60 of 4.1 and a price estimation of 40-45k, but damn, 4.1 seconds, that sick!
