Looks like the mustang is ousted from top competition spot for the Camaro

I would take the Mustang just based on value alone, even if I didn't think it looked way cooler, which I do. that 2010 little hip behind the door is really a head-turner. Were it not for the camaro, I'd probably be getting one. That being said, EVERYone has a mustang. It's the toyota camry of sporty cars in that it's so ubiquitous.

I think he's referring to the fact that the 370Z was deemed to be greater than the GT it was compared to.


but I really dont get this comparison... the 370Z is a two seater and kind of a purpose built car... they dont call it a "supercar" for nothing... I think its cool to be compared to it, but the Camaro and the Mustang are not the same kind of car... if they're faster, that's cool... but the 370Z is more like the Corvette than it is the Camaro or Mustang... the Infiniti G37 is more like a muscle car than the 370Z is, and I believe GM (and probably Ford) would consider this to be true, too.

Listen here turtle...





i agree the 370z is a two seater and purpose built and tiny and light and all that jazz not sure why they compared it to the mustang or why they would compare it to any muscle car.

the review was alright but seriously toss the cars on a twist turny track and see which get the better times. this is the best way to determine the cars ultimate performance.

what does it really matter, because if anyones car loses they will just say it was a crappy driver, there really is no winning on this subject when nobody accepts any results besides a winning car. so the winner of any car depends on the willingness of it's fans/drivers to accept reality and facts.

mustang loses: fanboys scream crappy driver!!!! windy day bla bla bla
camaro loses: fanboys scream crappy driver!!!! windy day bla bla bla

can't really win when people refuse to accept results.

370z > Mustang


If you have ever driven the 370z, you'd never even think of comparing the two. You'd be too busy comparing the car to BMW's and Porsche's

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
