Nissan 370Z vs Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) is the quicker car, covering it in 12.42 s at 115.1 mph against the Nissan 370Z’s 13.37 s — a margin of 0.96 s. To 60 mph the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) takes 4.20 s and the Nissan 370Z 4.84 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Nissan 370Z or the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) faster?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.42 s to the Nissan 370Z's 13.37 s, a margin of 0.96 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s against 4.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan 370Z 0-60 time?
The Nissan 370Z reaches 60 mph in 4.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.37 s at 103.9 mph.
What is the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 0-60 time?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.42 s at 115.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan 370Z trips the lights at 103.9 mph and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) at 115.1 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Nissan 370Z and 3 of 3 for the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
