Yes the mustang is faster. ( compare the v6 mustang to a Z and thn laugh at ford. this would be a fairer comparison) However the Z still stands its ground even against a V8. I believe thats a pretty good car.

If there is one thing i hate about the mustang, is that they keep upgrading every year. I would never buy a mustang for that one reason. They are just simply tryhards.
Most of us here know that the 370z is slower thn the v8 mustang, We still went ahead and bought the Z. IDK about america but here they are pretty much the same cost and gas is negligible so i had no reason not to buy the mustang. Infact, I had better options thn these.
But i love the Z, And i am sure many here feel the same, It doesnt matter to anyone here because if they want faster, They will go Forced induction.

Ask my sister, And she will tell you that the mini cooper is better thn the GTR. You will not be able to prove anything otherwise.
It depends from one person to another, We chose our cars with our gut.

I agree with you 100%. . They're in different classes. We shouldn't be comparing the two. but to say "idiots buy the mustang to go fast in a straight line" is the dumbest **** ever.

Also. Since when did all the 2012+ Z's come with an oil cooler? Mine *had one and i didn’t know it*. Nissan made the kit available as an option but that was all I saw.

WE ALL BOUGHT THE Z because we liked it. But there is a lot of people in this thread bashing something they know nothing about. I'm sure a few of you have driven one. I Bet the rest of you haven't even sat down in one b

Exactly what I was going to post. It's an oil to water cooler - incidentally, just like what the Mustang GT and Boss 302 have.

Yall need to chill a bit hahaha the 4.6 and old suspension set up was a like a boat. I had to troll a little. The DE 350 still put down better times I think haha

Gregor12 · 04-06-2015, 01:14 PM

let me ask this question because I’m interested to see what you guys would pick… if the 370z did not exist, what would you buy? (something you can afford, no unlimited money cheat codes here)

I bought mine when they first came out so it would have been one of the other cross shop considerations. BMW M3, A5, G37, or 335ic

Whatever I bought, I would probably know if it had an oil cooler or not.

What i could afford then and now are two different aspects. 4 years ago...
If icouldn't get a Z, it would've been the 1LE camaro or a G37ipl used cuz i won't pay $51k for one. I don't see the value at that price so, something with less than 10,000 miles for $41,000 to 43k

The Nissan stock oil cooler is a piece of garbage. Yet another Nissan bandaid - just like using GT-R fluid to fix failing CSC. Add an aftermarket oil cooler for real cooling.

It's not a piece of garbage or a band-aid, it's a standard oil-to-water oil heater/cooler as used on passenger vehicles. That's what the Z is... A passenger vehicle. It's not a race car.

If you want to go to the track, track prep your car. For damned near any car (esp. one that makes power) that means adding additional cooling, like an oil to air cooler.

I'm not talking about it running hot on the track. I'm talking about cruise control at 85ish mph on the highway and seeing 250F+ temps on the oil temp gauge. The 2012 I saw this happen in was 100% stock and wasn't running noticeably cooler than my 2011 with no stock cooler. Both were pegged between 250-255F on the gauge. The stock cooler is a worthless piece of garbage in my experience

How hot was it outside when that happened? I drove to Atlanta last year (150 miles) in 95+ degree heat last year and had nowhere close to 250F temps. Hell, I don't think it even went above 220F.
