They're nice cars, and I had them on my list. But in the end I really enjoyed the performance and feel of the Z over the American cars on my list. I used to be a mustang fanatic, but you cant beat the exotic, luxury feel of the Z. My own personal opinion of course. And when you compare the price and warranty, I just couldn't beat the Z. A loaded GT500 was going to be $20K more than my Z. Easy choice.
