Saying the interior is terrible is really looking with blinders on though. It's definitely uniquely styled, but the quality is pretty solid.

So if I were to go down that road it would need to be a special edition like the boss or Shelby.

I also wasn't a fan of how it "felt" -- basically, the Z sits you in a cockpit, where the Mustang just tries to sit you in a comfortable car.

-- It just wasn't made for someone of my size. I'm 5'6 and 120, and I was basically swimming in the seats. Likewise, everything just felt big and, well, American. I like smaller cars, I guess. It's why I'm attracted to the STi/Evo and not muscle cars or cars like the M5.

-- The exterior. I just don't love it. It isn't ugly, but it isn't really any different to me than the other Mustangs of this generation. I don't care about exclusivity, but I've gotta love a car when I walk up to it, and I wasn't feeling that at the dealer.

Likewise, as cool as the power was, I didn't feel like it was worth trading a car over. I felt like I was going to an equal vehicle, not a better one -- regardless of what I knew the numbers actually were.
