Bye Shelby Mustang GT....Hello 370Z

ZKindaGuy · 06-20-2009, 01:34 AM

Two weeks ago I decided to send the Shelby Mustang GT packing. Today after a nationwide search I finally got exactly what I was looking for...a 2009 370Z with the following features:

Touring with Sport Package
Pearl White Exterior
Persimmon Interior

It was a long journey finding the car, dickering with the dealers and getting it ferried from North Carolina to Columbus. Arrived this morning without a nick or scratch. It just makes me feel like

White & Persimmon....

! I have Monterey Blue & Persimmon but I must admit it looks really good on the white, too. Congrats on getting what you wanted!

Tell more about your stang. What year? Why did you choose the Z over it? I would have too, but Im curious what your thoughts were.
Anyway, welcome!

Every car I bought over the past decade has been for chasing the never-ending compulsion for more HP and for showing to the public at car shows.

In the past 6 months I entered into the more laid-back golden years life-stage. I bought this 370Z just for me. It is a perfect blend of sufficient HP with just downright sexy styling, Pearl White color and the Persimmon leather . It is for my enjoyment alone and was NOT bought for any general public consumption. I just came to an epiphany over these last 6 months that I just don't require public kudos to know my car looks fantastic...
it just DOES !!

They actually delivered my car two weeks early...its been at the dealership since june 1st, it wasnt suppose to be there until the 15th. Problem is its about 1300 miles away...and I just started my vacation this week, so I'm headed up there this weekend to pick it up, then I'll be in Cola. SC. for a week or so...

Absolutely not! The Shelby GT was a great vehicle..it just lives entirely too much in the shadow of the man, Carroll Shelby .....it gets old and tired after a while.

That was my original color combination preference! congrats!

TacoZ · 06-20-2009, 02:16 PM

Yet another person with the color combination that I ordered while I've sat here and waited 3 months. I keep telling myself that the wait will be worth it. Congrats! Can we get pics of the Mustang?
