2010 Z Sport to 2013 Mustang GT

Decided that it's time for something new so I am trading in my 2010 370Z Sport and buying a 2013 Mustang GT with the Track Pack, 6spd manual and Recaros.

Default 2010 Z Sport to 2013 Mustang GT

Decided that it's time for something new so I am trading in my 2010 370Z Sport and buying a 2013 Mustang GT with the Track Pack, 6spd manual and Recaros. Ordered it today and should have it in 5-6 weeks. I will have some items for sale soon too including:

- Custom Front Crash Beam, replaces stock beam to allow for larger filters and velocity stacks on. Will sell for $150 plus actual shipping.

- Stillen Gen 3's, custom welded one-piece tubes with heat shield foil barrier applied. Comes with two velocity stacks and appropriate filters (to be used with the above crash beam). Likely to sell these for $320 + stock intakes exchange.

- One pair of stock catalytic converters. Likely to sell for $80+shipping.

I just drove one of those yesterday. They're nice.

I like my Zed better, but I can't blame you for the switch.

I test drove a 13 Mustang GT two weeks ago. Also a track pack, 6 speed car with 373 rear. WOW! Tremendous HP and torque. Love the sound of the V8. We couldn't reach agreement on my trade so the deal didn't happen. Enjoy your car.

Mmm dat torque will be nice... Congrats

Mustangs do nothing for me though, hate their owners. All they do is rev their engines and then go back home when they get smoked by my cousins Z06. I would get a BOSS 302 though, Shelby expensive!

Nice, I am actually in the market and cant decide if I want a powerful v8 (isnt too great on gas), or good v6 (better mpg than mustang). Of course if I was to get a Mustang it'd have to be in only one color...

Deep Impact Blue!

I get horrible mileage out of my 370Z. About 27 on the highway. I am betting the mustang GT probably comes very close to that.

I don't know. I got 19-22 in my 505 hp Z06 mixed driving and 26 on the highway.

Pretty lame that a 332bhp motor doesn't do any better in a car of similar weight with lighter tires and driveline components and a lower drag coefficient.

That is one of my few sore points about my 370Z purchase. I expected mpg to be around 30 if I babied it on the freeway and 22-24 mixed.

You shoulda listened to us when we told you import. You had plenty of research for 2 years on that. You bought the Z anyway. Don't complain now.

My 13 GT is an automatic. My drive to work is 40% surface street, 60% highway and I'm averaging 19.8 after 2700 miles.


Cool deal Chris!

I get about the same mileage out of my 5.0 as I did from my 370z

Ford TSB Warns Of Modifications To 2011-2012 5.0 Mustangs

Really hope it's just BS, would suck if the platform doesn't put up with mods (of any kind) well.

What's the word on the street? Are dealers voiding warranties?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

And, as a lot of people have stated, fuel mileage isn't the number one consideration with a sports car. But the 5.0 shouldn't be any worse on gas than a Z in practical use.
