2011 V6 Mustang vs Infiniti G37
are you kidding me? i mean really this is a joke right?
70hp and 120 lb-ft advantage. they weigh essentially the same. 6 mph 1/4 mile advantage?
better start looking a bit higher. v6's arent competition any more.

What the crap are you talking about? Do you actually know anything about these cars?

PS the V6 you really want to avoid in a 3.7 Mustang is the Nissan 370Z.
Actually, per Car and Driver the 370z is not that much faster either. Same 1/4 time at 13.5, .97g cornering (only .01 better than the stang), 4.9 0-60, and 70-0 in 159 feet.
To be fair, car and driver also reviewed the v6 stang with slower numbers than other reviewers, but they came up with 14 second 1/4, .95g cornering, 5.4(!) sec 0-60, and 152 ft 70-0.
the 5.1 0-60 is the fastest time recorded for the Mustang, so I wouldn't quote that as what it will always do. If you average all the reviews for each car you will get the Mustang closer to 5.2-5.3 I think, with the G and Z at 4.9-5.0 and 5.1 respectively. There are faster and slower times for all those numbers.
The Mustang has a great v6 for the first time EVER, but it is not the best. But then again, it is WAY cheaper! Count your blessings guys, but don't go overboard. It is at least comparable, and that is saying something. The Z is priced and aimed more at the kind of crowd that considers/can afford the GT.
