So mustang..

Umm I just saw a mustang 5.0 destroy a 370z in a 1/4mile. Is this the drivers fault?

No, we all know Z can't even beat a leaf. There was video proof.

Its time we forget this is a sportcar and use as tow truck.

The mustang has more hp & tq, so that doesn't surprise me. I'm sure with the right mods, not FI, that a 370z could win. But it's not fair to compare a modded car to stock car. It's American V8 car, they're all about the 1/4 mile. If you read reviews the writers are always surprised when the car handles well.

Kind of refreshing actually... Mustangs are thicker than hair on a dog around here, they all want to race, they always lose. I mostly ignore them anymore. It's just so boring.
