Kinda funny...the engine roughness and the transmission feel from the Z are what I expected from the mustang, and vice versa...

Of course, the mustang looks like *** relative to the Z...luckily I can't see it while driving.
Yeah, the 5.0 is to me sort of what I expected the Z to be like (sans outright power). Of course I think the 5.0s look great; especially with the Boss 302 valence. Badass.

Z is much more of a sexy look, the 5.0 is more of an "i'm going to eat your kids for breakfast" kind of look. Mean as ****.

Taken anyone for rides yet? That's usually when the haters are like... "wait a minute... this is actually pretty f*cking awesome!"

They expect the power but are kind of blindsided by how quick it is on its feet and the absolutely incredible grip.
