From a 2013 Mustang 5.0 to a 370Z
Not really a new member as I had a 370Z m6 back then, more like a re-Introduction!
Unfortunalty my 370 was lemoned and stripped away from me, leaving a bad taste in my mouth with nissan. So i decided to venture off into the dark side and bought a 5.0. At one point the car was a full bolt on 11.4 1/4 car @122...amazing bang for the buck. I pretty much had reached the limitations of the platform without getting into cams and tearing into the motor or adding nitrous. The thing was, the "itch" never left me...ive always been a Z guy, thats the first car i fell in love with. its like that ONE girl you never got over ....so on a whim I stripped my 5.0 down and traded her in for an hr 350! Car has been fun and i had tons of positive equity in it anddddd everytime i saw a 370Z i would just lussst at it...so Here I am...back in the Zaddle I feel at home and in love again...this is what car life is all about! some pics of old and new: new I cant believe how happy I am with this decision!

Congrats! I did the same - traded my Stang. Wife and I wanted something different.
That was about 3 months ago and now I miss it. The "Z" just isn't very obnoxious and muscular. Last edited by Kzonts; 06-12-2015 at 02:17 PM. |

Welcome back!
I cross shopped 11+ Mustangs with the Z. Awesome powerplants but the Z wins in every other category IMO.

You traded your muscle car for a sports car. Of course it's not going to be "muscular". Thrown on some test pipes and a cat-back and you'll be just as obnoxious.
