Right, cause all drag strips have turns? :shrug:
I'm glad your wife likes hers and that you're impressed with it. I'm not, for the money. :shrug:
That's kinda my point, the Z is a multi dimensional true sports car...
It lost here in a straightline, but it shouldn't have....straightline performance is not the V6 stangs' forte...its more of a jack of all....but you take the Z to Closed course, slolom auto X ect...it will hand it ass to it along with cars waay more expensive....do some light suspension work to and weight reduction and you got yourself a track Monsters!
No argueing that. Ive driven my buddies 370Z nismo and it handles great. But then again.. he paid 36,000 for it USED.
Mine came in at a whopping 21,000 Brand new.
If I spent some money on suspension mods, brakes, and handling goodies. I might be able to hang in the corners :beer:
...don't forget cooling. The Z overheats worst than any Mustang in recent history. Don't trump it up to much.
x2
...stock turbo evo's with cams and some good fuel run those times all day! lol
i'd much rather dump that money into a 5.0!! sry. the moron that dumps that kind of cash into a V6 stang' and only get those times is asking to be made fun of!
just my .02 :beer:
very true! there have been a few recalls though...not sure if the recalls helped out though....
...its probably the roads that you're on combined with cold weather that you're able to break them loose...your mustang isnt a freak...its the crappy roads your on.
i get to drive mustangs on a weekly basis. (work at a Ford dealer) here in socal, the temps right now are in the mid 80's and no way is a V6 stang gonna burn rubber in first from a roll!!
heck the 2013 5.0's barely break loose in 1st (from a roll) and spin halfway through 2nd before grabbing traction and then a slight "chirp" going into third!
Thats the funniest statement Ive heard in a long while! So, it legit that a 2-3v can get'em loose, but a v6 thats putting down the same numbers as said v8 can't do the same...?
What a joke of a statement!! :rollseyes
Yes and the V6's that you drive at the dealership don't have 3.73 gears, 93R tune, CAI and aluminum driveshaft!! :bash:
...no...the funniest statement i've seen is someone (not mentioning any names) getting serious with their V6 'stang...
i meant stock...never said a modified one couldnt.
and if you're trying to brag about breaking tires loose, my 222hp STOCK maxima breaks tires loose from a first gear roll (on a 185 tire)
not sure why were all getting wet about breaking tires loose though...not something to brag about (nor is owning a V6 mustang)....just saying
carry on.

the early VQ35DEs were done internally at around 400WHP due to the rods. The newer VQ35HRs and VQ37VHRs have internals that can withstand over 500WHP on a factory bottom end.
Fixed :beer:
The 5.0 is faster than a 370Z around a track so I'm sure that a new 3.7 Mustang with the Performance package would give a 370 a good run. In the one test I read the 370's brakes were fading after just one or two laps which is pretty sad.
No one getting butt hurt here... that statement I just personally found amusing. I dont really see where anyones 'braggin' about getting loose in 1st, just like you were jus saying there was no way... we were jus saying there was. :shrug:
And I really dont see where you should be coming off talking about guys modding their v6's. Why not? I wouldn't own a v6 if it didn't have potential, trust me. But just the fact that its a v6 doesn't mean it shouldnt be respected. The 3.7 has proven itself to be a viable contender, stock and modded. They have proven having a threshold of 650hp at the crank for a while before letting go. Bottom 11s so far, but 10s are around the corner. I don't know much about times for tracks with turns, but I know they hold their own pretty decent in that respect as well.
I've driven my very hot co-worker's 07 v6 mustang just in the parking lot and I was impressed. I'd say having a v6 mustang is something to feel pride in, long as you don't act like an asshole about it. These v6 cars have got good power for v6's.
i would LOVE to see that! The 5.0 handles extreamely well and is usually faster around the track than the 370Z is but a huge part of that is due to its major power advantage. The tighter and more demanding the track is the 370Z starts to walk away, even suspension mod for suspension mod on a really demanding track the Z starts out shine the 5.0
The 5.0 wont be to far behind but the Z is just a track star....cant see the V6 stang keeping up in anyway...just a totally diff league. The Z was built from the ground up for handling, having owned both i can say despite the hype and the (current car) pride, the 370 still edges it out in handling.
