But really, I owned the car for 18 months and had a lot of fun with it. I had a 2009 so mine had a few things that irked me like the ECU whine and low rpm hesitation. I've always liked Mustangs so when the new 5.0 came out I really started paying attention to them again.

I managed to go about 6 months or so resisting any and all temptation to go and test drive one, until one Saturday no one decided to show up to our then-weekly 370Z meet. Bored, I decided to drive on over to the Ford dealership and test drove a 5.0 with the Brembo brake package. Two weeks later I had a deal worked out with our very own Lou Fusz and that got me into the car I'm driving right now.

So why did I switch? I had the Z for a while and felt like I had a lot of fun with it and wanted to try something different. Aside from some quirks with the Z it wasn't that I wasn't happy with the Z anymore, it was that I was satisfied with my experience and felt it was a good time to switch cars.

Alternate reasoning: Why did I switch? Because no one showed up to the Z meet!
