KEY 370Z COUPE ADVANTAGES

  • Double-wishbone front suspension (vs. independent strut) – 370Z’s double-wishbone design provides more control over vertical movement of the tires with less inward or outward tilt than Mustang’s independent strut suspension.
  • Tighter turning circle diameter1 – 370Z’s turning circle diameter is 5.9–7.2 feet smaller than Mustang’s (32.8–34.1 ft. vs. 40.0).
  • Tilting instrument gauges – 370Z’s instrument cluster moves with the steering column as it tilts up and down for an unobstructed view of the gauges. Mustang does not offer this feature.
  • Standard Automatic Temperature Control (vs. available) – 370Z Coupe’s standard Automatic Temperature Control continuously measures exterior temperature, interior temperature, and sunlight intensity. It varies fan speed, air temperature, and airflow distribution to automatically maintain the preset temperature. Automatic Temperature Control is available as part of extra cost option packages for Mustang EcoBoost and GT trims.
  • Available front-seat Active Head Restraints – The design of 370Z Coupe’s front-seat Active Head Restraints may help reduce whiplash neck injuries in certain rear-end collisions. Mustang does not offer this feature.

Additional Advantages

  • More horsepower (vs. standard 4-cyl. turbo engine)
  • Standard high-performance clutch on M/T (EXEDY®) vs. available (TREMEC®)
  • Larger fuel tank1
