The 370z or a Mustang SC.

Red370

Theres alot of Mustang hate on the site, hell, even I talked shyt about them for a time when I had my 370. The Z is an amazing car, I loved mine and hope to purchase another down the road when they step it up and put a powerplant under the hood with some low end grunt. 332hp is great, especially in a light car, however, 270 ft/lbs at 5500 just doesnt cut it for me. How many people drive their cars to redline daily? The Z in stock form definitely outhandles my 5.0, however, the brembo equipped Stang is a force to be reckoned with, with any Z in any trim. Now, I, as a car enthusiast, appreciate all cars for what they're worth. Is the Z a fine car for what it is? damn right it is, I loved every minute of driving mine. But is the power lacking in todays modern market? I think so. Would a TT or Supercharger be fast? yep, but how much boost can that VQ hold before it pops? the 5.0 engine has forged internals, crankshaft, rods.. only part that isnt is the pistons (although they have oil squirters that keep them cool). Right now people are running 10psi safely and making 600whp and 520+ ft/lbs on a stock block. The VQ makes great horsepower at a relatively low boost level, but the Torque is absolutely awful (which is a must for that hole shot if you plan on dragging).

As a reference, the 5.0 makes 320wtq (360btq) at 3k RPM's stock, now thats some tire shredding goodness.

The only reason there has been some Neg towards Mustangs? Is that it seems to be the recurring theme in here to compare it to the Z Some Mustang owners like to keep chiming in on how much better the Mustang is, Now I don't mind that, but it's getting old, and if some of the Mustang owners like to keep nit picking the Z? Then they should be were they belong The Mustang Forum. I'm a car enthusiast but come on.

I havent seen anyone make a post about how the Mustang is better. I've seen people comment on it being faster in a straight line, and the discussions have been civil for the most part. I like this forum because most of the members are unbiased and have intelligent views/opinions on alot of subjects that I like learning about. There is alot of nutswinging on the Mustang forums, lots of close mindedness, and they arent as active, so I tend not to frequent them. Another reason that Mustang guys post is because people here (the Z nutswinging crowd), make inaccurate comments about the cars we drive, and i've never been one to sit idly and allow that to happen. The Z is great, but other cars do exist.
