Comparison of Lowered V6 Mustang, Nissan 350 Z, BMW M3

Nikko · 09-23-2008

Ever since I installed my FRPP springs I have been wondering what the ride is like on other cars that come stock lowered. Specifically the M3 and the 350Z.

Does anyone have an idea what the ride on these other V6 cars is like.

Umm 350Z is Really Bumpeh But Fun....Btw my Bro owns a Yellow 35th Anniv. Z..

Hmmm

i dont exactly get your question but if your looking for ride quality my brother has a G35 coupe and the shocks are stiff, its like old corvettes that you can notice big going over a small stone.

If you think that a Mustang will be anywhere near M3 like riding stock or lowered you are sadly mistaken. An M3 is a special car, they are built to be quick, handle like a dream and still ride in luxury. A Mustang is built to be an ok performer not really overachieving at any one thing. They have ok styling, ok performance and ok handling. Nothing to be too proud of but they are half the price of an M3 to.

A 350z rides pretty rough but they handle twice as well as a Mustang. lol

For as much money as the 350z and M3 cost it better be a smooth and well handling car, isnt that what theyre built for

I don't think a Mustang is going to be anywhere near an M3. I'm just asking for a comparison of the road feel of a lowered Mustang compared to cars that come stock lowered.

in a hindsight, it's a pretty subjective matter since each of us have different preferences on ride and driving comfort. in fact, it would only be you who could answer your question by getting your hand on those cars, whenever possible.

in my experience, i like the road feel of the z better than the M3, but it would be the M3 that id like to drive home at the end of the day.

A lowered V6 will not ride the most comfortably, but it is far from the least comfortable car that I have driven. As long as you don't hit craters in the road then it will not be too harsh. lol
