Thinkin about getting a Z

Gauge

Heh, well I don't know. I always figured the mustang weighed more. Granted I never actually looked. Sorry I didn't know?

Ahh Nismo is around 4.4 and Mustang Boss is around 4. So .4 second difference in 0-60, I was wrong. At least I added a question mark because I didn't know :P But I don't think .4 seconds is enough to make fun of me ><

EDIT:
In fact looking at standard 2010 models of the 370Z(base) and the Mustang (base) the 0-60 IS faster on the Z, see I knew I read about it somewhere. Likely you will come back and find some flaw in my reading I overlooked and make fun of me >< please be gentle if I am indeed mistaken.

0-120 and 30-150 times are more indicative of performance feel. 0-100 is far better than 0-60, as well. However, 5-60 is probably the best comparison tool regarding how you will feel regarding acceleration. Most people done want to replace their clutch every 5k miles, so a hard slip from 4k rpm is not a very useful comparison in the real world on the street.

Ah yeah, the 2010s Z is definitely quicker than the 2010 Mustang. That was the last year of the 4.6L V8. The 5.0s (2011+) are no contest, though, assuming equally skilled drivers.

lol, I'm not making fun of you. The Mustang and Z have been compared a lot on here, and everything 2011 and newer, the Mustang GT is faster.

And in 0-60 terms, a lot of rag racers will tell you .4 seconds is huge. But more accurately, I agree with m4a1. The stang would be faster 0-60 under equal conditions and with equal drivers.

But paper statistics matter very little. Both are great cars. Enjoy the Z.

Mustang boss is 4.3 0-60 on a good day stock. 0-60 is little matter though unless you are a pro driver at the track. Most people can't drive so no matter how much power you have it won't help street or track.

Mustang can't out handle the Z and it is heavier stock for stock. To give and example the Roush stage3 2012 and the Boss 2012 were tested by the stig around the track and the Boss won with 50 less HP.
