Which Refresh Do You Prefer? The 370Z or the 2010 Mustang?

well the new mustangs they should check their job before sending it out to be sold with their leaks

The new hemi challenger is the best looker of all. Smokin hot!

Z looks extreme ugly, like all other japanese wonders…

Mustang too well camouflagged …

These pics don’t really do them justice, but the new stang looks even better than the 05-09, as far as looking like the old ones. Yes you do see them all the time, because they are sexy and affordable, and cheap to make fast. I can’t wait to get a real look at a new one with no camo!

As long as the Z keeps those god awful looking door handles, I’m not buyin it.

As for the Mustang, toss a coin and I’ll bet you’ll see one before the coin lands.

Both cars are camaflouged and the Z car is shot at an angle that makes it hard to tell what it really looks like. In my humble opinion, the new Camaro and Dodge Challenger have re-awaked the idea that America is once again PROUD to make cars that look, well, American. The Chrystler 500, although it has Mercedez Benz DNA in it, looks a broad shouldered, mature, large, rear drive, American Sedan. GM via connection to Holden Monero from Australia is resurrection rear-drive and performance. This version of the Mustang, if visualized without the tiger stripes, looks bad. It’s again, a throwback of American cars trying to look Japanese. The original 240Z looked British somewhat, but was an affordable, light, iconic car. It later, in the 260Z and 280Z and 300Z became a GT luxury cruiser, not a sports car. The Mustang was going to be replaced by the Front Wheel Drive Ford Probe. Remember? So the more “Japanese” Americans make their cars, the more we don’t like them. The more “German” the Japanese make their cars, the less there is to like. To me, the new Z looks too much like the Porche 928. The Mustang is trying too much like a Camaro mixed with Toyota Celica DNA. Stick with what works: be proud of your country of origin and what it represents. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but the retro looking Mustang is a hot car. Just keep it the way it is and pump up the power train to compete with Camaro and make independant rear suspension standard across the board and 3.55:1 gearing. No need to change thing. The Z car is not in same price class, about $10k-$15k more than a Mustang and attracts a different kind of buyer demographic. Stick to being true: Be an American car and not imitate a Japanese Car. if you’re Japanese, stick to that, and don’t imitate a German car.

Alright, let me start off by saying that you can’t go on these pics, the Z car is taken at such an extreme angle that its hard to tell what it really looks like, the Mustang is done up in the camo paint for the express purpose of not letting on what it really looks like.
A couple of quick counterpoints as well. A car is only as reliable as you can AFFORD to make it as an owner, don’t blame American automakers because you refuse to take car of your car. As for the Mustang looking more like an import as soon as Ford switched from the Fox, there is more old Mustang styling in the current Mustang than anything, do some research, and know what you talking about.
To be honest, I would take either car, but more likely the Mustang.

370 FTW!

I’m a ford guy, but to hell with both of these!! I’ll take a new Challenger hemi, thank you.

I choose your mama!

the stang looks like a cow lol

Well, they are both played out and over rated. Here that mustang looks like a big 350Z WTF? You see mustangs everywhere. Nissan is a more reliable, and better quality car in general though. And the 350z resembles the audi, sooooo whatever floats your boat….and your pockets….lol I’ll take the old school body of the muscle mustang with the 350z performance in this case. LOL

ZZZZZZZZZZ da Z baby, da ZZ. hehehe. put that lil horsey to sleep.

ZZZZZZZZZZ da Z baby, da ZZ. hehehe. put that lil horsey to sleep.

Ive always loved the Z’s. The new Z all the way.

Well I owned a 300zx and I loved the car. I drove several 350z’s and was disappointed every time. 10 years later and My NA was only slightly slower then an automatic and talk about cheap interior parts. Overall I just hope they have fixed this though I am not holding my breath. Mustang is an awesome car but I see them everytime I blink and I hate trendy cars (another downer for the 350z). However Ford probably makes bank off of them so I can’t say I blame them. Honestly I am saving my money until I can buy a GTR right…

370Z, Nissan all the way

Id take the Z but thats only because the options here suck

The Mustang looks great! But Ford is gonna have to step up the HP too if they want to compete with the new camaro

the 370z is more revolutionary than evolutionary, it’s not even the same size as the 350z, it’s smaller!

that is just a photoshopped 350z, the 370z will look sort of similar but the fenders are way wider and its actually stubbier. dont judge on this picture

im an import guy so i would choose the 350Z, but that refresh is GAY!!!! and that mustang looks better so i have to say THE MUSTANG =(

the ‘stang looks mean! the Z dont look to much different, I think I liked the 350Z better ???

Come on now, doesn’t anyone remember the staphylococcus microscope photos in their high school biology text books? That is Bill Nye’s own 2010 Mustang of Science! Ford is trying to show us, in an obvious, yet clandestine fashion, that they and their paint crew are indeed on the cutting edge of science!

Bruno nailed it!!

If you are looking for a sports car that can actually handle TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, you would buy a Z…

…If you looking for a bathtub on wheels you would buy a MUSTANG.

I frequently go to 2010mustang.com and they also have some cool pics. they are the first to reveal true images but only one a week. Im a mustang guy so without even thinking id take the mustang, and maybe give the Z to a friend (one who can’t drive very well)

Neither, almost every year cars that are different makes and models are starting to look the same.

I was going to say I’ll take the z but it loos the same so I’ll take the Mustang

the z looks fine its suposed to look like an import, but the mustang, its been looking more like an import ever since they changed it from the old fox body….just my opinion

Mustangs are becoming less of a pony car and more like an import, At least it looks like it.

If I ever see a mustang station-wagon like the concept I saw, or one that resembles a compact car like the cavalier; the mustang I own now will be the last one I own. Do car companies really know what we want? Gees take a note…

To Jack:
YOU ARE THE MAN!

From a Camaro guy MUSTANG!

why not have both!!!!

Neither, they’re both played out. Every kid with a rich daddy has one, or both of these…

The 350z might be one of the best cars out there and the 370z will not disappoint but I don’t like the new exterior very much, especially the front (hope it will grow on me). The mustang is a muscle car and might not drive as good as the nissan but it looks really good. My vote is for the mustang even though I hate to see them everywhere I go!

To Louis,

Wow, that’s a well thought out, rational response to someone expressing their opinion. So, I guess one good turn deserves another.

I checked out the ride page for your 91 Accord. What are you trying to go for there? If it’s a performance package you’re going for why all the extra weight of the stereo? If it’s a “show car” you’re going for, why all the performance mods? Frankly, I’m surprised there isn’t a giant red R somewhere on the car (cause you know that adds 15hp). Anyway, I’m not surprised that someone who’d build a ricer like that would pick the Z.

maan the mustang was tight when it came out! i remember, i really wanted one, but then the v6 version came out and now u cant drive nowhere without see’n one its like the F150 or a honda everybody or someone in your family owns one… shaame …………BUT ill take the Z

test

Can’t answer til next month when the official cars come out!

Stang. American all the way

Ok it’s sad that some people have not understood that this mustang is under camo paint…
I’d take the 370Z, more of an all-around sports car than a mostly-straight-line sports car IMHO
Will the 370Z still be a 2-seater?

MUSTANG !!!!!

MUSTANG !!!!!

We do understand the paint on the Mustang is for camouflaging purposes, yes? The wacky pattern makes it harder to pick out the lines. I seriously doubt Ford will offer the “Kidney Bean Paint” option in 2010.

your website kicks a**. its the best one iv seen so far, and im 49. you guys need to keep up the good work and keep the pics coming

I think the mustang will turn out pretty sweet…definately not the nissan…from the looks of it, probobly will not sell as well as the latest Z is selling

Ag no jeez man!..what kinda Hippy paint is on that them there Mustang!!???..i think i`ll take the Mustang BUT without the Hippy paintwork,UNLESS maybe i wear my old 70`s Hippy shirt,bellbottom trousers and high heel shoes and i don`t wanna do that!…370Z is nice,but i`ve heard so much negative sheet about his younger brother,the 350z…..in the meantime please send that Mustang to Chip Foose for decent paintwork pleassssseeeeeeeeee!!….

370z

Id take the 370Z because it will have a shorter wheelbase and a slightly wider track(i think) and hopefully these rumors of a V8 option is true…………………………………………… and ill take the mustang too because it looks too much like the Z’s cousin, the infiniti G35. looks like ford be “jackin jackin nissan’s fresh”.

stang

I hope they refresh the mustang by giving a serious interior. That shit looks so cheap. And its definitely gonna need more power with the new Camaro and the Challenger offering so much more in a non-special edition model. The Z juss continues its evolution as usual

Well, it’s a bad comparison, a 3.7 V6 and a 4.6 V8…but I will give my shot, If standard I take the 370Z, if tuned then I realy admire the Roush Mustang

I would like to see a front view of the cars too but I like the current Z’s better than the stangs so my vote is the nissan

Z

The Z needs the update since the entire Nissan fleet has been upgraded a few times since the Zs conception. The mustang is only getting remodeled because Ford needs to still attract customers to buy a terrible car that has only been in production for a few short years.

STUPID comparison. The 2010 mustang is simply the same car, same chassis, just refreshed. Whereas the 370Z will be totally different. Nissan is going after the Porsche Cayman with the upcoming 370Z, the mustang is not even in the same league.

The 370Z will be shorter, wider, have at least 335HP, will get a 7spd automatic, with a 6spd manual of course, and will be 200+lbs lighter than the current 350Z. It will destroy the mustang, and will beat the cayman, just like how the GTR beats the 911 turbo. And the 370Z will look NOTHING like those computer generated pictures which makes this comparison even more stupid.

MUSTANG ALL THE WAY! i really don’t get in to the Rice-a-Roni game, don’t get me wrong i’d easily pic the 350z over a Camaro any day, but the mustang looks even better than the one right now. It looks less pudgy.MUSTANG no doubt.

Mustang, but only to kit it out with some real gear and fix Fords mistakes.

Well, if all the new ‘Stangs have that kidney bean motif, I’m gonna have to choose the Z.

the mustangs ass looks like that of a pontiac g5… personaly i think they are both pathetic. 370z- that door handle is so gay, the z’s are cheap cars, get a infinity g35 or a g37, its the exact same chassy, you can get body kits for the g35/g37 to… i mean come on… seriousy, i would take my 30k that one of those would cost and by me an older 93-96 acura NSX… so sexy, and very good cars, although they look like they could go 200+mph, but unfortunatly in all reality a turbo vw jetta could keep up with them. OH WELL i go for sexy styling, which both of these cars DO NOT HAVE!

That poor poor mustang.

I like where they’re taking the Mustang. I was stoked when they brought in the retro styling, then disappointed when I saw just how bloated the new Mustangs looked in person. I think the updates make it look much more athletic than the current generation.

As for the Z, who can argue with upgrading an already excellent platform?

I love the Z but the mustang is better to me so MUSTANG

I dont even know wats goin on with that mustang looks like something Prince would drive

Aw dangit, I mean I like the 370Z refreshment better.
I mean, come on. Nissan is doing everything RIGHT with this! (and that is VERY ..refreshing to see.)
So let’s see what we’ve got here…

Better looks.
A shorter, more performance-oriented wheelbase.
Less weight.
Smaller overall size.
A bigger, more powerful engine.
Wider rear fenders!
And apparently a less plastic-y interior.

Yes please.

370z, I want something that can actually handle a sharp turn…

Mustang.

THREE SEVENTY ZEE
ftw.

370Z

neither. I’d rather have a Camaro or Challenger.

hard to make a fair comparison on just spy photos and renderings. we should wait for official photos from both manufacturers

Mustang! But c’mon now, this isn’t a fair comparison!

I’d take the Z. I really like the way the roof looks like the GTR’s from that angle.

I’d take the Mustang if I could get it in that sweet camo paint, but the Z it is!

330ish hp? I’ll take the Z anyday. Jack probably WOULD rather drive a pinto because honestly he probably can’t afford the new Z. OR %80 of the ‘japanese’ cars out there. Old school ignorant man.

Mustang, although I’d rather drive a pinto the anything Japanese.
Also, to Dru, both the interior and exterior of the mustang got an update. Also, both the v6 and the v8 are getting a reworked engine that will be more powerful.

Neither car looks very good. Both could stand a lot of improvement in details and overall proportions.

Oh and as long as the mustang doesn’t look like this:
http://www.thetorquereport.com/mustang_g.jpg

We’re ok!

I would say the Mustang refresh is getting closer to it’s roots and that door handle thingy on the 350Z has GOT TO GO!!!! Either flush it or do away with it completely.

without seeing a good picture of the mustang yet its pretty unfair. but nissan

To make an ugly car look good takes more than a few tweaks.
both suck no improvement.

Mustang! sure the Z got all this things added like Dru said, but those things make it look ugly as hell!

the mustang’s paint is totally gay!

370Z, They are actually changing the car, the engine gets bumped up in displacement, the car is shortened and the looks both interior and exterior get refreshed. Instead of the mustang which it is pretty much the same car except a few tweaks.
