My buddy sent me this from one of his buds in fresno

 

What about the 05 Mustang GT, interior and exterior quality is very good, handling is going to be probably a little less than the Z.

However, Motortred just tested it and got 13.6s 1/4mile from the Automatic Mustang GT, the Manual GT should run 13.1-13.3s... that is almost a full second faster than the Z , and these are magazines times which are usually slower than what the car can actually do , price is still about $25k for the loaded (leather, 1000watts sound system, ...).

 

Hey Mike, Besides the motors are built huge, He runs NOS. Anywhere from a 250-350 shot. Here is a little something I put together.....

 

Sweet.....Must be nice to have money to burn?..........

 

He didn't go by the boardname "X" did he? If so, we've met.

I think go for the Z. I like the C5, but if you're going with a Vette, at a C6. they look better and perform a bit better than the C5. The Vette will probably out perform a Z in most aspects, but ask yourself what you're using the car for. If you're going to the strip all the time, then the little bit of performance that the vette has over the Z should make the decision pretty simple. If you are looking for more of an all around package, for a good bit less money, I'd go with the Z. The Z looks better anyway

 

Motor Trend also clocked the Z at a 13.77@101 (I think). So the Mustang GT isn't a full second faster. Did you see the trap speed on the auto version? What's up with that 99mph? They can do better...

EDIT: NM, just looked again and it's a 99.99, so basically its a 100mph trap. Still not what I'd expect, though.

 

I don't think so... I'll find out his nic. Will be back, Dave

 

I can't get past the awful looks of the 05 Mustang and I don't think it is in the same league as either the Vette or the 350Z. Thanks for everytbody's help and I'll keep you posted...

 

I had a funny experience yesterday I wanted to share but didn't want to start a new thread for this so I thought I would just post it here at it relates to this comparison.

Yesterday while driving on I-5 through Tacoma, WA a few people in an Acura Integra pulled up beside me in front; then a guy leaned out the widow with something silver in his hand. At first I thought, oh my gosh, I'm going to be shot at ! It turned out he was taking photos of my 350-Z. After a while he motioned for me to pull up beside him, and then he took more photos of the car. My wife and I were totally laughing the entire time. I've never seen anything like that except with really old, rare antique cars.

 

Weve had both in the family and it depends on what you want to do. My son is a drifter and his Nismo 350Z is very impressive. The Corvette is beautiful but it doesn’t corner or respond like the 350 Z.
