pretty much anyone who has driven most cars knows it's a no-brainer.

just get a mustang because if you get a z im pretty sure you will start a thread about road noise and oil temperatures.

If you only look at performance, then yes. If you put looks and exclusivity (

) into the equation, it might not necessarily be the case. A lit of people don't like the mustang look or the fact that there are so many of them on the road. I only liked the look of the 5.0 after I saw Steve's car in person. The Z still looks a lot better IMO.

People that care about looks foremost in a car are a breed I don't really understand. I tried to do it with the Z, but it's really not for me.

Buy a mini-van.

I see this a lot, and let me explain why it's bunk.

The 370Z is in no way limited edition at this point.
The more people that own them, the more dealerships are used to working on them/servicing them.
The more people that own them, the easier/cheaper parts are to find for them.
The more people that own them, the more chance of finding clubs in your area.

Since they are already saturated on the market (i.e., rotting on the lots), there is no "exclusivity" factor what-so-ever. Every Nissan dealership I see has a row of them off to the side.

____________

Buy the 5.0 BOSS if you want performance, it stomps the 370Z in every way possible regarding performance. If you want looks, that's subjective. If you want the nicest interior, buy the 370Z.

Is the car for you personally or for your family? If it's your toy car buy whichever you'd like. If it's going to be a family hauler, I wouldn't choose either.

The new Mustang beats the Camaro in literally every performance category. Not to mention the Camaro also has one of the worst interiors in it's class. No way I'd take the Camaro over either the Z or Mustang.

I agree with this 100%.

Nissan, WAKE UP.
Give us some ACTUAL UPGRADES instead of stickers.

Why is that the competition is getting upgrades and Nissan isn't.

dang370z · 03-16-2011, 05:06 AM

seriously.... the 370z only been out for 3 years now, if they are doing any changes it will be in the up coming year.

But I like the way the Camaro front looks better then the stang.. other then that yea Mustang wins in about everything else other then price.

If its a toy car / weekend car then grab which ever one you like. If its your DD/personal then I wouldn't recommend the Z since you do have kids.

The problem is that the 370Z was designed to compete with the cars that were out when it was being designed instead of the cars that would be out after it came out. That's just the way I see it, but it was made to compete with the '05 mustang GT, RX8, and EVO8. It beats them all soundly. Good job. Now it's time to beat the contemporaries.
