Happy for ford and mustang enthusiasts tho. They must be drooling over it and the value you get for a relatively low price tag. I'd get this over an SS camaro any day.

The boss 302 looks bad *** but it still starts at $4k above a z with sport package. I think it's great that ford is giving their customers (especially the enthusiasts) so many options. Just not for me. I find them terribly ugly and it's just not my style. But I'm glad to see them jumping on the performance/enthusiast bandwagon

I would never buy a Mustang because:
1. It's a Ford product and I've worked on enough of them to know better. 2. I see what seems like at least 10-15 of them on my daily commute. 3. I see a 370Z once a week or so during my commute. 4. The styling is just too bland. 5. It's not a sports car!!! 6. If I did buy one and parked it near my Camaro....I'm sure my Camaro would make it it's b*tch.....and the Camaro has dual 3" pipes.....ouch! ![]() |

BFD! All that power and you really can't put it to any use on the street.My '03 Accord handled better on the turns than the 'stang did. It is one awesome car, but I think for all it does, my Z is a much better car. ![]() |

2011 BMW M3 Coupe vs. 2011 Ford Mustang GT Comparison - Motor Trend If you think the 370Z can keep up with the new 'stang on anything but an autoX track, you're dreaming. There are many reasons to pick a 370Z over a mustang but normal track performance simply isn't one of them.

![]() Let me sum it up then. A professional driver got lap times .09 seconds different between the new M3 and the Mustang GT. The regular MT drivers were actually faster in the mustang than the M3. Is your claim now that a 370Z will beat an M3 around a track? I'm sure we can dig up a lot of same track stats that will prove that to be very inaccurate. The 'stang's power simply outweighs the 370Z's handling on anything other than an autoX track. Afterall, performance is a combination of both power and handling and the new stang is loaded with both. Your pricing is bogus as well. A base GT with the brembo package is under $32,000 retail and can be had for less than $30k. The price you are quoting is a fully loaded luxury package. You top out the 370Z with it's upscale options and they are amazingly similar in price.

![]() I would think the most reliable person to ask would be someone who is passionate/knowledgeable about both and has owned both, someone like m4a1mustang (who I mentioned before). If you don't believe it, you can ask him yourself.
