I won't be buying one anytime soon but they are nice these days.


Just a quick edit: I will say that as far as American muscle I would only go the the Stangs. Ford to me is on their game while other companies are playing catch up.

I am considerably older than you. It didn't hurt to get in or out of the 370. I just found myself feeling less and less willing to do it. The biggest factor in my change was the fact that as my DD, the Z wasn't right for me. If I could afford it, I would own both cars right now.

Since I am in old fart mode, I discovered a couple of truly nice touches on the Mustang: When the headlights are on during the day, the dash illumination and nav screen do not always go to "night" mode. The light sensor on the car stays in "day" mode if the exterior light is bright enough. Also, when the wipers are on, the headlights go on. Nothing that would influence my buying decision, but fun to discover. One other thoughtful touch: When you use the window washer, the wipers do their normal thing, then there is a few seconds pause and they do one more wipe to catch those annoying drips. Gotta love a car company that is that thoughtful.
