Can a 350Z take a 04 Mustang GT 5-Spd??

I got into a argument with my friend who has a 04 Mustang GT, he was confident that he could beat the Z, well nautrally being the Nissan fan that I am, I had to disagree. The Z's got the HP, the weight and of course the wide power band of the VQ, the only advantage that the Mustang has is the torque. So what do you guys think.

man dude this shouldnt even be discussed. Of course the Z would win. a GT is heavier then a Z has worse wait distribution, and plus only has what 270hp? The Z would kick its ass in my opinion.

Stock mustangs aren't shit. If you don't believe me, feel free to refer to the ~13 page thread (referred to in my sig) where I tore some dude apart over this subject. Within that thread, I compared damn near every spec you can think of between the 2 cars...and all of my info I got off Ford's website, jbcars.com, or my misc. Nissan brochures. Stock mustangs are weak.

Re: Can a 350Z take a 04 Mustang GT 5-Spd??

A 350 Z will most likely beat the mustang gt.But the mustang gt will give the 350 z a run for it's money.With a good driver a 99-04 gt can run high 13's to low 14's stock.I think it'll make a good race.
Now If the stang has gears or other bolt on's it'll be a whole different story.

2004 mustang gt:

0-60: 6 sec
1/4 mile: 14.7 sec

2004 Nissan 350Z:

0-60: 5.4 Sec
1/4 mile: 14 sec

Specs off jbcarpages.com

14.7 is no where near high 13s and not exactly low 14s, either. And you want gears and other bolt ons, too? You already have 2 more cylinders and 1.2 liters of engine on the 350. It wouldn't be an ass kicking, but the mustang wouldn't be a wise bet.

Of course these numbers vary...but I've seen 350Z 0-60s as low as 5.2 sec in magazines and as high as 5.5 sec...still...it's not exactly close between the mustang and 350.

A 99-04 mustang gt with a stick does not run a 14.7.The driver must suck.That is what an auto vert gt would run.94-98 gt's run 14.7's not a 99-04.If you don't believe me go over to the mustang fourm and ask.Just about everyone there will say the same high 13's to low 14's for a 99-04 gt manual with a good driver.My friend with a 00 gt automatic ran a 14.4 and thats with an auto.As far as the gears and bolt on's I meant alot of stangs have them.A gear change which alot of mustangs have usually make them
.4-.5 seconds faster than stock in the 1/4.

Like I said if you don't believe me got ask the guys in the mustang forum.
Also check http://www.eurotuned.com/0-60.htm and it said a 99 gt ran a 14.1 in the 1/4 and 0-60 is 5.5 sec.The 99 gt has the same performance as a 04 stang.Notice the 98 and older stangs are the slow ones.

Re: Can a 350Z take a 04 Mustang GT 5-Spd??

I raced my friends 03 GT 5-speed(which suck ass by the way...over rated) against my 88 RX-7, with 156,000 miles on the motor. All I have is exhaust and I stayed up to he had me by the front bumber the whole way....he never gained after that....so yeah a Z would rip him a new a hole. Mustangs are too bloated, in short they suck.

Unless your car runs low 14's,the guy in the mustang can't drive for sh*t.

Here is another link with musang facts...and it says 5.8 0-60 for a 2001 Bullit and a 14.3 1/4 mile and (on the next page...) a GT Mustang with a 6.0 0-60 and 14.7 1/4 mile.......

Damn Zanark ......I usually like a nice, calm, civil statement of facts in an argument type of form, but you're nuts...I don't particularly like fords either, especially mustangs, but damn dude.....I let the facts speak for me.

Re: Can a 350Z take a 04 Mustang GT 5-Spd??

Well this site says 14.3 1/4 and thats with a heavy convertible.Take .2 off for weight and you have a 5 speed coupe that will run 14.1 in the 1/4.
Heres the link:http://www.bradbarnett.net/mustangs/caroline/specs.htm


Heres another:http://web.radiant.net/kms/specs.html
Look under ford.It says a 1999 mustang gt coupe ran 14.0 1/4 mile and 5.4 sec 0-60.And a 99 gt convertible with an automatic ran 14.6 1/4 amd a 0-60 at 6.2 sec.

The places where your looking at is giving you stats of mustang gt auto convertibles not 5 speed coupes.



Here is another one:http://www.modernracer.com/mustanggt.html
If you look at the very bottom it will say
mustang gt competitors,350Z.They both run the 1/4 mile about the same with the mustang gt at 14.2 sec. and the 350Z at 14.1 sec.


This sits says 0-60 in 5.5 sec.http://www.carseverything.com/conten.../article/39.1/
It says it in the middlle of the page.


This site says 0-60 in 5.4 sec and a 14.0 sec 1/4.
http://www.worldclassmusclecars.com/1999MustangGT.html

This place says a 14.4 sec 1/4 but thats with a convertible.With a coupe which is around 200 lb's lighter it should run a 14.2 sec 1/4.
http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicl...russ0023a.html


This site says 0-60 in 5.5 sec and a 14.0 1/4.
http://home.thezone.net/~mus_tang/2000-2.html


If you read this page it says a mustang gt runs a 14.0 sec 1/4 and a 0-60 in 5.4 sec.http://www.jhammy49.com/Pages/99stanggt.htm


If you still don't believe me that mustang gt's run low 14's stock I can continue posting more sites for you.Most of the sites say a 99-04 gt runs a 14.0 sec 1/4.

To conclude everything ,there are good drivers and there are bad drivers.
Some people will run better times then others.How would you like it if I said a nissan 350Z ran a 14.9 sec 1/4 even know the driver sucked.That doesn't mean all 350Z's will run a 14.9 sec 1/4 now does it. 99-04 5 speed Mustang gt's are capable of 14.0's and 14.1's but it's all on the driver.The guy can run a 14 flat and another guy next to him can run a 15 flat.
