Think of the Mustang GT as Jake LaMotta, a punch-drunk heavyweight making a comeback from the brink of retirement. With a 300-horse V-8, it still packs quite a wallop. The 350Z, on the other hand, is Jackie Chan, kickboxing the competition with faster moves, quicker reflexes, and a more animated personality.

Nice article and that's a funny quote. My best friend has a 350z and we have compared them to Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee before.

From the article:

Price as tested

Mustang: $33,905
350 - Z : $41,110

Always love comparisons like this. For 7 grand you can make a lot of upgrades to the Stang, like suspension and custom seats.

And the interior on the Z is ch-HEAP. Like the interior on the Mustang more and it isn't exactly the ultimate in refinement.

Either way, the Z is still fugly. Somewhere two 1950's kitchens are missing the handles to the fridge.

I like the coupes of both cars for looks. I don't like the 'verts on either with the top up. Tops down, I like the 'stang, but not the Z.
