2011 Mustang 5.0 Turbo

Doing a motor swap might sound like a neat idea but you also got to consider how the motor effects the weight distribution especially seeing as the 370z is front heavy to begin with. Then you got to make sure the rest of the cars drive train can tolerate the added torque and heat generated by the larger my powerful motor, etc. There are many things to take into consideration.

Regarding Magazine times I’m more inclined to trust the numbers they come up with vs. some random people on YouTube, etc. Watching a car run a certain time on YouTube, Street fire, etc doesn’t prove anything. How do you know for sure that car was stock? It’s the same deal with time slips, people lie.

Magazine entities on the other hand generally have no reason (s) to make outrageous claims and do their testing in a controlled environment with state of the art equipment. Yeah some Mags come up with better numbers than others but that could be due to a number of reasons obviously. It doesn’t mean they’re full of **** per say.

What I do is find an average between several different sources and use that number as the benchmark for the particular automobile. Of course it’s not going to be the very best the car can do but it’s generally a very accurate depiction of its capabilities in general.

i was between a 370z and the new mustang, but i chose the mustang, and im not regretting my choice at all. the mustang is a great car, and the aftermarket is endless.

See excellent reasons. So I assume you went with the 5.0? I happen to like the Mustang interior about 10X more than the Zs. Almost bought a Mustang soley on that.

I was completely on the opposite opinion on interior. I liked the Z's much better than the Mustang's. O well, to each his own.

Don't forget that the GT-R vq38 are all hand made so I would imagine that they are very pricey.. Just get a turbo kit and make 500whp and call it a day. If you want more build the engine and make 800whp or 1000whp... For the loss you would take trading in your 370 and getting a 5.0 and losing that 3-4k more after driving it off the lot you could have a badass 370TT

Here's the thing America wants more hp they just make the engine bigger. Europe or japan wants more hp they research and develope new techs to make more power efficiently.
