meh, yea the mustang is cheaper and all that. but you should try sitting ina 370 and driving it. its worth every penny, that car is so refined and awesome to drive. the interior blows the mustangs interior away completely, and its just way better built, and it will hold the resalve value very well.
bang for buck i guess the 2011 v6 is good tho, but it will take full bolt ons and a tune to = a stock 370z.

Pound for pound the 370z is a better car and is def faster though. But for a company to come out of the dark ages with a car that has from the past been not even worth mentioning they did a good job with the new v6 mustang.

Oh, I have a family so the 370Z is not an option for me now. I'm done thread jacking now.

2011 Mustang V6 vs. Cobalt SS/Neon SRT4 - Ford Mustang Forums
One of the new v6 owners said he killed a stage 3 srt with toys. That guy must have been sleeping rolf.
Funny stuff , and I know what a gms1 can do with a 11 5.0 because my brother from another mother got one for his new car after a year deployment and he doesn't come around me until 105 and doesn't pull away until 120.

Unfortunately for them the LNF will do 12's on factory rubber.

A 3v basically has to have a blower or 4.56 gears to be fun. With a 40 mile drive to work, ridiculous gearing was out of the equation.

Even the camaro guys accept that it's a bit faster than the fifth generation camaro now. Camaro5 is full of respect mostly. They realize there's no beating a car that makes the same power and weighs up to 300 lbs less. The fastest stock cars are the autos. . . It's harder to get the manuals to perform 100% because of the "soft limiter" at 6000rpm. The throttle pulls back to 85% at that point. You really have to know how to play with it and the difference between drivers seems to be even more prominent in these cars. IIRC the fastest m6 was a 12.5@113. The fastest auto was a 12.3@115 bone stock. They're nasty. GM has some catching up to do, but I'm sure they will with the next camaro. The ls3 has plenty left on the table. Like I said, they're doing 120 traps with headers/exhaust/intake/tune. An evo customer car did a 138 trap on a stock motor and trans with ONLY a dyno tuned procharger kit and exhaust. ******' insane. The real question is: how fast will the boss be? With the red key, they're going to easily be putting down an extra 40-50rwhp over the stock 5.0. Should easily be an 11 second car from the factory with some tires. Those things are going to be running 9's with a simple blower. They will be the baddest tuner cars around imo. A fully forged 5.0 revving to 8k(!!!) with adjustable suspension and less weight for 40k? Shiiiiitt.
we're in agreement over on the GTO boards.
I'm assuming GM will be sticking with the LS3 in the next camaro, but its supposed to be on a lighter platform, so that should help some. Us goats just have no options though short of just making more HP. Why hello there new cam

agreed, but i think chrysler went the wrong route in trying to add power instead of removing weight. besides, weight reduction would also have the benefit of better MPG, so they should like that oath anyways. Course the best is a world with both more power and less weight, and agreed with Witt. Even not being a mustang fan, im glad they have what they have. Forces competition to improve, and i like seeing the american companies in general do well

Question is how fast is the 11 V6 Mustang with the GT suspension package and optional gearing?
I don't think any of those test were with the optional gearing you can get.
I know for a fact (becasue I remember reading it) that the 11 V6 Mustang with the GT suspension package out performed the GT itself in handeling.

You start talking about mods and thats a whole other story, 2010 Mustang GT hands down.
But to be fair you could buy a 2010 Mustang GT at the end of last year for the same money a 2011 Mustang would have cost you. People were snatching them up off the lots.

It all depends on the transmission and gear ratio for the 2011 V6 Mustang. I saw a comparo recently and the Mustang was equipped with an auto trans and 3.73s. It ran a 14.5@97mph. The 6-speed manual with 4.11s have been tested as high as 13.7@103mph in some magazines.

I believe the optional upgrade gears for the V6 is 3.10s. Stock is 2. (something)

I did read about a race on a forums (dont ask me which because it was 2 months ago when I was interested in the V6) and saw a video of a stock 2010 Mustang GT vs. a stock 2011 Mustang V6 and the 2010 only beat it by 3/4 of a car. Supposedly the stock 2011 V6 was being driven by the wife of the guy filming. So I still think a 2011 V6 Mustang with the gear upgrade option could run neck and neck with a 2010 GT, driver mod of course.
