Falken Tire Video, 370Z vs 5.0 'Stang

spearfish25 · 04-23-2011, 11:22 PM

Call it a tire comparo or a Z vs 'Stang comparo. Either way, it's a fun video.

I'll post the first inflammatory comment. A 370Z COUPE would have won...

pretty cool.

christian370z · 04-23-2011, 11:34 PM

Z no win means me no care.

I definitely agree, I wish they used a coupe but it still did well all things considered.

Regardless of price, how new the car is, etc... v8 vs v6 N/A -- the v8 should win.

maybe in a straight line that is a good rule of thumb. for N/A

Not so much people "saying" it, just every single test that has been done.

Inflammatory as it is, I still chuckle that the 370 NISMO's best lap time around VIR was only 1/2 a second ahead of a V6 mustang that bounced off it's 114mph rev-limiter for over a dozen seconds on the straights. It's time to give the mustang it's due. It's no sports car, but it is starting to turn very un-ponycar like numbers.

Ironically though, the Mustang was Ford's answer to Chevy's Corvette. Then Chevy countered with the Camaro to compete with the 2+2 design. Woefully for Ford, the Mustang has been lagging behind the 'Vette's performance for decades, and even a base Grand Sport can trounce a GT500. It'll be interesting to see where the ZL1 Camaro falls in the mix.

I'll never "pay dues" to a car that half of my city drives

That's the old GT500. The 2011 beats the Grand Sport now on track times at same raceways though I haven't seen a direct comarision yet. They did by dropping 100 lbs. over the front wheels when they switched to an aluminum block in 2011. Handling supposidly is night and day over the 2010.

1 sec not bad for a 80 HP deficit
