I prefer the look of the Z no question, and I'm going to miss the HID's, and not seeing another copy of my car every 15 minutes but the mustang really impressed me.
It feels like a tank compared to the Z, and even though the handling is comparable between the two, the Z just feels a lot racier and confidence inspiring. I'll be looking forward to getting the Stang out on the track for some road racing in the coming months and I'll report back.

Congrats on the Stang, yet another 5.0 convert
Couldnt agree more though, although the handling is supposedly comparable, my Z definitely felt more nimble. The lack of low end on the Z killed it for me honestly, and the fact that with my job, back seats are a necessity. Couldnt think of a more perfect replacement honestly. I will say that I do miss the wow factor of the Z, there wasnt a day that went by that I didnt stare back at it lovingly as I walked away, in the looks department, it definitely had my Stang beat.
BTW, check my sig, intake/tune/exhaust will put you around the 420whp mark, not bad I say! Throw on some slicks and skinnies and its good for 11.7's all day.
