Short answer on the Z35 is... I like the Z34 enough not to wait around for ~2 years until the Z35 launch (and who knows what it will turn out like.) I was NOT going to daily drive my S2000 any longer than I had to!

Plus, who knows, if I waited for the Z35 to come out I probably would have just bought the C7.

In the end this is what works, and I'm happy with it.

5.0 V8 @ 415+hp 400lbs+ tq and weighs 3500lbs vs
3.7 v6 @ 332 overrated hp (326) and 270lbtq @ 3320lbs.

I'm sure the mustang is the faster car.

Faster doesn't always mean better.



That said. The stang is a much improved car since 2011. It's only getting better. I think both camaro and mustang for the next gen are slightly more exciting redesign cars than the Z. So many rumors flying around there that it's just nuts. Z35 rumors are hum drum and the Z may or may not be a better car in the future??? Unlike the Z, We're seeing proof in the muscle car refreshes that the next gen muscle will be hard to beat on all levels. power, handling and quality. But as it stands right now. The slower Z imho is the better car.

Can't wait to have PSS on this thing, though.

The first 5000 miles. RE50's are fine. It's after the 5000 mile tread wear they turn to shyt.
