One of the true beauties of that engine is it's 8 quart oil capacity....no overheating problems at all!

I have a 370Z AND a 2007 Mustang (for my daughter) in the family. I like the 'stang cuz it is perfect for my daughter. Pony car. loaded with all the options and a 5 spd V6 so she stays out of trouble. She loves it and I know she is in a safe car for her. And she doesn't touch the Z.... lol

Truth is I love cars. Doesn't matter the brand really. I love 'em all. I'll take any performance car if someone offered it to me! No favourites (besides the 370Z), really!
I need a 100 car garage (or m4a1mustang needs to renovate the underside of his deck) to hold my dream stable....

The engine alone is worth the price of admission. I threw an exhaust/intake/tune on mine and its a completely different animal, its nearly impossible to keep the stock Pirelli's on the road at part throttle, I'd imagine i could pull a high 11 pass on DR's easy.

one thing I really like about the SCT tuner is I can set the idle (if you want a more beastly sound while your just sittin around), the rev limiter and speed cutout with a few clicks on the menu. Its pretty damn awesome.

/\ well, you should def test drive both and see which one you feel "better" or happier in. The stang def is faster and of course with that v8, you'll get more out of mods for the car. At the end of the day, pick the one that will make you happiest, I don't think you're going to really go wrong either way. |

Depends on the options on the GT if that is a good deal or not. No matter how you cut it, the 5.0 is better value as far as sheer performance goes. I paid around $3k less for mine than I did my Z and feel like I got a lot more. Totally up to you. You know where I stand!
