It's 0-100 that matters more, though, I think. Even an Evo will do mid 4's to 60, but 0-100? Not so hot. |

0-100 tells you more about the power/weight. 0-60 tells you about the driveline/tires/gears. |

Most of my driving involves 0-35. I think magazines should report that. And how stable the cup holders are.

who said anything about racing? the speed limits in my area range from 35-55. Which is why 0-60 matters to me, get up and go is what I appreciate, not top end 150mph pulls.

I honestly don't know one person that has bought a sports car/muscle car that has never gone over the speed limit. On top of that I have never met anyone that bought a sports car/muscle car just to drive under the speed limit all the time. I don't endorse street racing but it's a fact that everyone here doesn't follow the rules down to the teeth every minute of their lives. Also, don't get me wrong, I am all about buying cars that you love and enjoy the most. So if you want a 5.0 more than a 370z, go for it. If you are happy I am too. I don't like stomping on people's feelings unless I know they are just out of line. Last edited by Cell; 10-16-2010 at 01:06 PM. |

No on this forum speeds, ever.
Just do not look at my Camp II.

I care more about things like 20-80 times, they indicate more accurately how fast the car feels.
Especially when you've got cars like the EVO and STI, where their 0-60 times in the mag have very little bearing on how the car feels around town, unless you're dropping the clutch at 6k... |

The 370Z has a nicer interior for sure, but then so does the 2011 mustang. I think that mechanically, the mustang is AT LEAST as sound as the 370Z. As far as "feel" goes, I think the Z has a better lay-out, but that isn't about quality, it's ergonomics. |
