The 350z is an overall better car. I’ve driven both. I guess the mustang is good if like mickey mouse shaped gauges. ---

c5…yeah right 🙂 I work for a public school, lol. Talked to the Ford dealer today, my mustang has a VIN number and, according to him, will be ready the middle of next month. So, as long as that is true, looks like I’m going with the stang. ---

i say the stang. i think they look cooler. w/ some rims it will look awesome and its already a bit faster. i dunno the difference in handling between the 2 but i’d still say stang. ---

Handling its no contest. I don’t think 99% of possible mustang owners care that much though. Most of them wanted their solid rearend back instead of irs. ---

> [@ritalin](#): > > Handling its no contest. I don’t think 99% of possible mustang owners care that much though. Most of them wanted their solid rearend back instead of irs. believe it or not, the new 05 Stang, handles quite well. It’s a live axle, but it is a panhard bar/torque arm setup ---

> [@TavisB](#): > > Ordered an 05 Mustang GT about 6 weeks ago, still dont even have a VIN and production on 05’s ends soon. So I went and test drove a 350z today. Now Im really torn between the two. The z is a couple grand more expensive, but I could get it this week. The GT, I dont know if I’ll even get this year, and if I have to wait on an 06, it may cost a little more anyhow. > > Which would you pick and why? > > _Mustang:_ > > WB 107.1"; OL 187.6"; Width 73.8"; Ht 54.4"; Cargo Cap 13.1 cu ft Max; Curb Wt 3300-lbs - 3450-lbs > > Cylinders V8; Liters 4.6; Fuel Induction 24V SFI; HP 300; Torque 320 > > 0-60 mph, sec 5.2 > 1/4 mile, sec @ mph 13.90 @ 104.00 > Braking, 60-0 mph, ft 116 > 600-ft sLALOM, avg MPH 64.2 (vert) > 200-ft skidpad, lateral g 0.85 > > _350z:_ > > WB 104.3"; OL 169.4"; Width 71.5"; Ht 51.9"; Cargo Cap 6.8 cu ft Max; Curb Wt 3188-lbs - 3247-lbs > > Cylinders V6; Liters 3.5; Fuel Induction 24V SFI; HP 287; Torque 280 > > 0-60 mph, sec 5.5 > 1/4 mile, sec @ mph 14.0 @ 101.2 > Braking, 60-0 mph, ft 116 > 600-ft slalom, mph 69.7 > 200-ft skidpad, lateral g 0.86 I guarantee you won’t get a 2005 Stang GT as an order.

Dealer gave me a VIN and says it should be made in a couple of weeks. Ford has extended production on the 05’s for another 8 weeks or so, I heard. If I dont get the stang, I like the z too, ill just go grab one of those 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2005-mustang-gt-or-350z/174620.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2005-mustang-gt-or-350z/174620.md?page=3)
