Ford Mustang GT vs. Nissan 350Z
Ok, I know they are both 300hp RWD sports cars, but there aren't many similarities other than that. The suspension systems are totally different, the engines are different, the configurations are different, transmissions, etc...
I don't just want your opinion of which is better. So... basically, if you would, score each car on a scale of 0-10 (10 being best) in the following areas: performance (overall including straightline, cornering, weight transfer, braking, stability, etc...), utility (how useable and practical the car would be as a daily driver for a young person on the move), reliability, entertainment (how fun and engaging the driving experience is). Give at least a brief explanation for each score. Then give your winner along with any unmentioned factors that led to your decision.
one last thing, pretend that they both are the same price, i want a judgement of the cars, not a financial analysis of practicality.
Just trying to decide upon the two. Thanks.

Power Mustang GT: with 300hp and 320lbft of torque from a SOHC 4.6L, there is a hole lot of potential, but it doesnt do to many tricks stock, but the 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds which is just a hair under that of the 350Z, dont know alot about the wieght tranfser but both cars wiegh under 100lb of eachother (3400-3480, top speed of the Mustang is 149mph wich is 6mph under the 350Z, have heard they are decent on corners but they could use alot of improvment as far as practicality its a 2+2 seater, so if your someone that cruises with friends its much more practical, the gasmileage is the same with both cars (18-25mpg), the trunk even has a suprising amount of space but i dont know about the 350z and abou fun, its depends on what you think of as fun, drag strips or road courses? Mustangs always have lots of drag strip potential, but road course is something that would take a little more work to get it right, but there is a ton of aftermarket to help you get there Power: 7/10 Utility: 8/10 (for a sports car) Fun: 6.5/10 Reliabilty: 8/10
it took to long to do that, ill have to do the 350Z tomorrow

Do you have any reasons for 10s all across the board? or just because you believe they're both some pretty tight cars...? just wondering maybe what your rationale is/was when you posted.
