0 to 155 mph Gt350R vs. Z28

I am hearing a lot of how the newer Ford V8 pulls better in the high end so I am wondering what do you guys think of this comparison, Z28 vs. Ford Gt350R 0 - 155 mph?

It also is like 250-300lbs less... GT350 would probably win

This low end vs high end (of the rpm range) still confuses me.

Around town really low end torque matters. It makes a car feel more responsive I'm sure.

When you're beating the hell out of a car across its RPM range, a higher power band is beneficial. It's ridiculous what people will try to do to make an argument benefit their POV.

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

GT350 isn't meant to go 0-155. It's meant to go 50-155.

^^

Despite that fact, if you're just looking at the numbers alone, eventually, the GT350 will pull up top.

I would expect the GT350 to run away with this one. Low end torque doesn't mean squat in this scenario. The Mustang has more power and less weight.

The 5.0 is a full 5 seconds faster than a Camaro SS to 150mph, which is embarrassing... It will likely be similar for the GT350 vs Z28.

I've taken a ride in a couple z28's and the part that really surprised me and blew me away about the car was its top end pull so i doubt that statement is true.

I imagine the top end pull of the 5.2 would surprise you even more.
