OP, keeping it in the Mustang family, that also means that the 05 Mustang GT folks are going to be a little upset when they laugh at the new V6 that pulls up next to them then get beaten by the girly V6. Also we can even compare old to new and look pretty good when the 03 350Z beats the 05 Mustang GT IIRC.

@OP. thoses stats shown there are not much of a difference.
It's not like you will come across and race a '10 stang everytime u go out and drive.
When you go out to the circuit/autoX these stats become meaningless when the Z driver knows what he's doing.

LOL it sounds like our Z's a bit, minus the atempted muscular burble from the exhaust. but seriously it sounds a bit like a z. Oh and i think they are ugly. Ill give credit to the motor a bit and ford. Supposedtly a .96g skidpad, nice. but yuck.

Here we go again, a paper numbers reader going on and on about how much better one car is above the other.
OP, I suggest you take your Kentucky waterfall mullet and sleeveless plaid button down shirt to the nearest Ford stealership and buy a V6 LX Mustang pronto, stat, ad infinitum, etc.

05 Mustang received the 3v, I believe that car is faster then a the DE engines, only a HR would give him a run for his money, stock-for-stock.

Because in one Generation Nissan's Top Sports car is no longer very relevant as a cost effective tuner car. The lowly, POS Mustang V6 is able to trump it in every performance test and still maintain a large, inexpensive aftermarket.
Essentially, in my 3 years of Z-ownership, the only way to make any damn power at all on the car and improve it's performance is with a +8k FI set-up, something few other cars really have to suffer in this day and age. They either come pre-turbo'ed, like the WRX, Evo, MS3, GTi and STi.... or are Domestic V8s with an endless aftermarket of quality, inexpensive parts and plenty of go fast tricks.
