In this video by the Petersen Automotive Museum YouTube channel, we get to see a drag race featuring a 2014 Ford Mustang GT with a Stage 3 Roush tuning upgrade and the 2023 Nissan Z.
The 2023 Nissan Z represents the latest version of the iconic Z sports car lineage, dating back to its origins in 1969. It boasts a twin-turbo V6 engine with 400 horsepower, design cues influenced by its classic heritage, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. This new Z demonstrates impressive power and style, positioning it competitively among sports cars.
Challenging the Z is the Stage 3 Roush Mustang, equipped with a supercharged 5-liter Coyote V8 engine producing 575hp and 505lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, making it a formidable opponent for the Japanese sports car.
With the Mustang having the advantage when it comes to power output, will it be enough to beat a much newer machinery? Watch the video to find out!
