I dont think the Z falls short on "Bang for Buck" It does everything the 5.0 does as good or better except speed, and even there the Z is not far off stock for stock. They both cost around the same.

agreed. z offers great bang for buck. it's offers a lot more "looks" than the mustang for sure, and the performance is pretty solid.

for comparable cars though, the mustang is definitely cheaper. A 400A brembo mustang is comparable to a Touring+Sport Z at the closest, and goes for about $32k even if you don't negotiate.

Build consists of:
CAI, boss manifold, longtubes, exhaust, stage 1 comp cams and heads, and a93 tune...that's it! Only diff for me is am doing shorty headers withh off road H...so I might a few hp short of 500rwhp...now there saying that 550+ is possible NA

that's insane. at 500whp you are probably pushing close to 120hp/L:eek:

Yep, if your budget is low 30's to mid 40's, both of the cars are high on the bang/buck.

As to which is more bang per buck, it could go either way. With the Stang you get much more oomph for your money, by far. I mean youre getting a 412hp V8 for crying out loud. With the Z I feel your getting quality, something very capable in the twisties( not that your Stangs arent) and a little bit of exclusivity. For the straight up performance minded guy the Stang may actually have the edge. Then again I have a hard time comparing a V8 car to a V6 I mean it better damn well be faster!! If you put the Z up against other V6's it pwns. I dont mind being a tick behind a Stang on the straights, if it even happens:stirthepot: But yeah I do think the Mustang is an incredible deal, without a doubt.

I hate that word. Exclusivity. It is used too loosely here. The Z is NOT exclusive! There is NOTHING exclusive about it!

It is, however, a little rare. ;)

m4a1mustang 10-19-2011 06:41 AM

Exclusive implies there are barriers to entry. Yes, I know the word is just being misused. No one actually thinks the Z is "exclusive" in its definition, they are just using that word in place of "rare."
