Now that the V6 Mustang spanks the Z...
Just got back from 2019 yo...
2011 Mustangs got nothing on the new hybrid Z: 50 mpg does 10's in the 1/4 to make Vin Diesel proud. It will be featured in Fast & Furious 7.
"That is AWesome Doc!!! Now if only we could time travel back to BEFORE this thread was made, we'd restore the space time continuum!"

, Nismo Z's are still a limited edition model whether people like or not. widebody350, I don't even know where to begin with you, I read your posts and all can think about doing is
not because you're right, but because you're so thick headed that it's not even worth my time explaining anything to you.

You really are struggling to validate your purchase here and IMO your failing pretty miserably. I actually like the nismo z but the price of entry is lol worthy. The only real rational is I wanted it so I bought it.
Also get over the mustang hate. The platform isn't bad and has produced real gems like the cobra termi in 03-04 and the gt500 has been great. Now with the new GT they are really uping the game which hopefully will force Nissan to actually make the Z as fast as it looks.

I agree, it was dumb that Nissan didn't do a little something with upping the HP for the Nismo Z, BUT at the end of the day regardless of horsepower, and to some thick headed people, just a body kit , Nismo Z's are still a limited edition model whether people like or not.

Those were also incredibly limited models with only 300 being produced, and technically they're not even 350z's.
They're cheap

If the Z ends up going FI I see just that happening though. The 370 already creeps up to the mid 30's. Add twin turbo and it will easily be just under 40k if not higher....
^^ The Z32 300zxTT was also competing with other Japanese halo cars like the Supra TT, FD Rx-7, Mitsubishi 3000 GT.
All the gadgetry, feature flexing drove these cars to the stratosphere. The economy and market competition is not the same nowadays. I can see the Z getting up there but only for "limited" production models.

Oh, hi douchebag. lol Seriously, you're on crack if you think your argument makes a snot difference in how I think of the Mustang compared to my Z.
I've owned Z's since the 90's and also have driven/owned Mustangs. There is no comparison whatsoever. The technology of the Japanese carmakers owns all your base. Ford had no imagination. Nissan dared to be different. My 1990 300ZX with 222 hp STOCK could outhandle and outrace a stock 1993 LX 5.0 with more hp and torque. Why is that? I knew the driver because he was a good friend. He loved my Z.
And if you actually saw my location, you'd probably see why I made the statement about rare sightings of Z's compared to Mustangs. I organized a Z club, and we have an average of 20 Z33's show up for our Spring meets. I know there are more, but we don't see them like we see the Ford.
I will always enjoy my Z for a lot more reasons than you can imagine. I never get tired of driving my Z. I bought it for a reason. I could care less about back seats. I have a minivan for my family.
You keep thinking that you're better than me if it makes you feel better.

The only reason rustang gt is getting such high skidpad rating is because the tire they put on. Ford is just trying to compensate their stone age suspension with Pirelli Pzero. They'll have fun replacing $400 a pop tire after like 500 miles. At the end of the day, it still can't turn for ****.
Not like a 13.7 car is smoking a 14.0 car
As if everybody ran mag timers and ran consistently, .3 on the street or track is a drivers run. OP is a tool for not realizing that and bench racing like a fawking loser...

1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - 6.2 - 14.8 (205hp)
1993 Ford Mustang GT (auto) - 8.0 - 16.1 (205hp)
Now if your friend was driving a GT with an auto and 2.73 gears then yes, you would beat him.
