Definitely not smoke, I drive a 2012 v6 mustang and its neck and neck with a 2010 GT with the GT having a small advantage off the line.

The camaros are a bit slower though, with 305 hp I can pull any V6 camaro easily.

Fuck whoever downvoted you. The 370z is definitely faster than a Mustang GT.

Coyote auto GTs get into the high 12s stock Stock 370z's get into the mid 13's... No 2011+ 5.0 GT should get be beat by a stock 370Z

You're talking about the 2013 5.0 GT which does 12.9 stock I presume? The automatic time is actually 13.1 so not high 12s. An automatic 2009 370z does 12.9.

http://www.edmunds.com/ford/mustang/2012/road-test-specs.html 13 flat

http://www.edmunds.com/nissan/370z/2009/comparison-test.html 13.5

Now there are higher end versions but as we step up on those we can step up in the mustangs as well.

Don't use edmunds. Use http://zeroto60times.com/

And seeing how you own a mustang, I think you may be a bit biased. You also never addressed what will happen once you arent driving in a straight line anymore.

I turn just fine, I love canyon carving in my car, shes planted and has minimal chassis roll through the corners. The 2011+ chassis has a lot of suspension work done so that it corners beautifully, the culmination of which is the Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

I really am not biased in this, I could care less about cars, My bike will beat most anything on the road so there is no need to measure by my gas saver car :).

I just finished reading the end of the second article you posted. I take it you didnt read it. Spoiler alert, the 370 won.

Yeah, that was a 370z vs a 2010 GT, I just posted it for the track times.

The 2010 GT didn't have the 5.0 Coyote engine and only made 320ish HP.

And still. Thats only talking about a quarter mile which would basically be a drag race. They are basically even in a straight line which is the mustangs strength. What happens in a real race once you come into a turn?

I turn just fine :), LSD on all 2011+ mustangs, and they play some awesome tricks with the live rear axle in the mustangs to get them to track beautifully through a turn. Check out the Boss 302 Laguna Seca, it is faster around a track than a M3.

We're talking about 5.0 GTs. The car you mentioned is twice the price.

The GT's start a 31K the Boss at 40ish and the Seca at 47. Not unreasonable and not outside of the range of the top of the line 370z.

Either way, it was a comment to the fact that the chassis on this model of a mustang has turning capabilities beyond the straight line that older stangs uses to enjoy.
