Twins vs GT 350
 

With the new Mustang finally revealed what is everyone's thoughts on it compared to the BRZ/FR-S. I think it's a pretty solid setup. Mustangs never really caught my eye until now haha.

I knew this comparison would pop up. Totally different breed of car in every sence from drive train, price, type of car. I think this is the first mustang since I saw a 72 fast back that caught my eye.

turning corners > turning heads

Ford is saying that it's supposed to be aimed at the people who track vs people who drag. I've never driven a Mustang before, but I'm curious how track times would compare to the twins performance.

im certain its much faster. if you want fast lap times, its not an frs youre looking for. that doesnt mean its a better track car though.

I don't follow the scene closely so I verified Ford is finally trying to develop a proper rear suspension. Interesting but still not my cup of tea. I'd still rather drive the shit out of a go kart than have to sweat my right foot all day.

I know I'm in the minority. It'll sell like crazy to lots of people who can't wait to go wrap it around a tree.

Um....atl brz ruins alot of Porsche drivers' days on the track with bolt ons in his brz.
But back on topic. There isn't one. This is like comparing a dirtbike vs a jet ski.

Well with the right set of tires, a turbo kit, and maybe a tune you could get a better car for less money!

Alright. I said it. That way no one else has the excuse to post that tired lie again.


I personally think the new Mustangs are ugly, but the GT and above trims will always decimate the twins. Wasn't the GT350 supposed to have a flat plane crank this go around?

yeah it has flat plane crank.

Ok, I could look it up but we're all here. what is that?

This is the video I used to figure out what those terms meant :P

Makes perfect sense. Thanks! Tradeoffs - never a free lunch.

2jz will decimate all!

I turn more heads in my BRZ than a Mustang ever will. Simply because Mustangs are extremely common here.



Great...You just made me want a Mustang.
