Test drove new mustang gt

I must admit the interior of the 2015 mustang is a big improvement from the "Fisher Price" plastics of the previous model.
Finally even the chevy's interiors has come to life and worth the accolades.

I guess the bankruptcy has taught them a lot of lessons.

Those of you who think this car is ugly, or has a crappy interior... youre either nuts or you havent seen/driven the 2015. I got the black leather recaros and they are one of if not thee nicest car seats I have ever sat in. The interior is every bit as nice as my 370z, and the electronics and connectivity package in the mustang blows my Z out of the water.. theres no comparison there. But hey, its 6 years newer also. Its also got these awesome like 15" 6 piston brembos in the front that are pretty nice. I could ramble for a good hour about the features this car has that my Z does not. But I am just being defensive about my new car here. I love my Z every bit as much, and the things it doesnt have, it doesnt need... and it does other things as well or better without.

No matter all the things my Mustang has.. A 2015 Mustang GT is NO replacement for a 370z. No way, no how. You simply must have both. I have no idea how i could possibly live without either of them now.

My springs will be here hopefully tomorrow so this thing can come in for landing.

I love the rear of the car the most. I really dig the tail lamps and the placement of the reverse light.

I've never been a Mustang fan, but there is no denying how fast they are.. especially the 2015's. With DR's, exhaust, CAI, some suspension work and some small weight reduction, this one ran a 11.2 @ 121mph. Lol, looks like after a few runs they already need a new clutch! Whatever it was they got the car fixed and recently ran a 10.6 all motor.

I know how we can settle this.

370Z Coyote swap anyone?

You can say that about anything. I'm sure Stig could beat me and my Z around Summit Point in a Fiat. That doesn't mean the Fiat's a fast car or that I'd ever want one.

Zoren 370 · 12-30-2014, 08:47 AM

^ that I would like to watch for a dollar! Lol

No you can't. A fiat against a z at the drag strip? Please. I don't really know why the few Z owners here do not think this is possible. Yes the mustangs are fast cars no doubt but the Z is a very quick car and with that being said our Z's are getting down there quicker but not faster. It's a drivers race as I said stock for stock and it's usually reaction time and launch that the Z excels in thus that .5 second advantage at the tree results in a win. So yea it becomes a drivers race between these two. The last mustang I raced ran a 13.1 to my 13.5 but I got the win. Hope this makes sense to those who don't race.

Summit isn't a drag strip.

My point was that if the reason you don't like a car is because it doesn't have rev-matching the only cars you are going to like are the 370Z, the new corvette, and a handful of used porsches. McLaren F1s and Ferrari 250 GTOs are lame.

Don't get me wrong, SRM is awesome but it's just a neat little techy add-on, nothing on which to base your overall opinion of a car.

That being said, if you become competent with hill-toe it does help in everyday driving.
