Financing Mazda 3 and about to hit the year mark soon. I want to trade it in for something faster and most importantly fun. Decided it has to be either a 370z base or a 2015-16 mustang gt. I'm leaning more toward the stang even thought the mileage and handling won't be as good as the Z's. But at the same time the Z is better rounded and is cheaper. I'm planing to get either car off an official dealer brand new
What do you guys think? I need good opinions on these cars, pros/cons and overall built quality(if anyone here has had any of these cars)
Please no stale mustang jokes

Ford a shit too
>>15057813
live with your mazda until it's paid off faggot.
>>15057821
Atleast they're better than gm.
>>15057813
>base 370z
it doesn't even have a LSD. WTF are you thinking anon?
The Mustang isn't any better.
Buy a Boss 302 if you have any testosterone.
>>15057830
Yea, except they aren't.

GM BTFO!!!!
GT350>Nismo 370>Mustang GT>norma 370z
this is a fact
>>15057853
Boss 302 was my first choice, but they're harder to come across. It'sone of the best mustangs ever made. Even if they lack torque
And so what if it lacks LSD? Base 370z is lighter and I can easily improve upon it down the road. But a 5.0 easily has better exhaust tone and can be way more fun in drag races

Oh my. Whelp, I guess it must being really bad not being 'Murican and loving 'Murican things.

Just like GM's "engineering".

Nissan easily wins that pathetic comparison
>>15057830
>paying 50% more for two seconds
OP here, the replies are not helping much. I'm trying to get a monthly payment of $400-550 here, so the budget is clear.
I've already test driven a 2016 Z, then handling is amazing, but I feel it lacks acceleration and overall power. I've test to test drive a 2015 5.0

It's literally better in every way.
>>15058012
Nobody is butt hurt about that. Honestly the only thing I'm even mildly upset at is the degrading quality of /o/ because of faggots like you. Do you honestly have nothing better to do than shitpost? Is your life this empty and light?

Go to reddit if you can't handle shit posting, Bitch boy

> light
yes, i am not american :v)
>>15057813
The Z is really fat for a two-seat sports car - it doesn't handle particularly well.
If you go the Mustang route you're going to want to get the Performance Pack for the LSD, upgraded brakes and cooling, etc. The GT w/performance pack is a bit pricy, so the Ecoboost might be better at your budget. Ecoboost w/performance pack is only $28k IIRC.
>>15058043
the gt does have back seats, more hp/tq and better looks. But care to elaborate some more? I'm still undecided, idk if the stang would stand the test of time as well as the 370z. Course i would not daily either, but if I did what would be the better choice?
>>15057813
Mustangs got a pretty great aftermarket if anything on it bugs you performance wise. Been really happy with my mods so far. Drive both and see what's going to be the best to live with. Fords incentives were just too good for me to pass on at the time, 0 percent financing and all.
>>15058086

thats all you need to know OP
there is nothing more

Kill yourself nigger.
Are there any mods on this fucking board? I'm tired of seeing a few people ruin every single thread here.
>>15058102
> no no don't compare lap times done on the same day by the same driver, it's unfair!
Stay btfo
>>15058097
jesus, you haven't even owned the car for a year and it already looks tacky as fuck.
>>15058097
Yes you bring up good points, what concerns me is the built quality of the new 5.0 as opposed to the 370z, which has been around for a while now. I don't know if the stang will last the year without something major breaking. And no, I would not molest the car every weekend
>>15057813
I would go for the 5.0, CJ intake manifold, biggest CAI, full exhaust, tune and you are making over 400whp N/A ez
>>15057898
>And so what if it lacks LSD?
Buy a civic.
But really, if you want something lighter, why not buy a nice C6 corvette? It's reliable, good at handling, and powerful.
>>15058135
Actually from the looks of it the only thing he did was put wheels on it maybe a hood.
>>15058110
>>15058110
what do you expect to happen when you want to unironically praise GM cars and only see replies from other people praising GM cars
go to a boomer forum
>>15060692
Those calipers look like they were painted and the platidipped 5.0 looks even worse.
>>15060622
I just looked up the specs and price for a c6 corvette base. You might have just given me a great third option. Thank you good sir
>>15057813
Ford "quality" versus Nipponese katana steel.
Mustang has useless back seats for storing shit, Z has terrible storage space in general. You could probably fit 3 manlets in the back of the Mustang, but only 1 in the boot of the Z.
Mustang for racing at the lights. The Z can't hope to compete there unless you want to twin turbo it.
What's with all the GTR Bench racing fan base? If I was planing to buy a car and I had the money I'll get a zo6 becouse its 45k cheaper than the GTR and better looking. Who cares if it breaks you have warranty for 5 years
>>15063533
The GT-R fanbase is full of busriders.
With that said, I wouldn't buy something with a reputation for being an exploding piece of shit either. I would rather import something like a low mileage R33 and dump the difference into making it faster.
>>15063533
Newfag.
I'd say get the Mustang. The new generation are apparently the best ones yet, and if you're in America, they can be real cheap for maintenance and modding. There's already a good aftermarket for them, and if you want to sell it in a few years, it'll probably hold value pretty well because it's a god damn Mustang. The Z might be cool, but it is a platform that's at the point where they need to do some kind of improvement on it to make it more competitive. The Z isn't as desirable in the used market as the Mustang, but it'll probably be more modding-friendly just because it's a Z. I don't think you could really go wrong with either, just test drive both and keep researching for stuff that's important to you in a car.
>dat 5.0 American V8 tho
>>15063533
Chad gave them complex
>>15063577
Fucking baltimore ford dealer has performance package brand new 5.0s going for 29k. It's what I'm getting.
Fucking cheaper than my employee discount.
If you plan on modifying the cars, get the stang. 370z is mostly maxed out at the factory and FI blows it up.
>>15063559
Z06 issues are largely overblown and can be fixed with cat back exhaust and spare sheet metal for a heatshield if you do have problems
