New Member...But with a 5.0
 

Hey guys,

I used to be a 350z owner so naturally I'm a fan of the 370 too. I have a 2012 Mustang 5.0 right now and I love it but every time I see a Z I want to get back in the seat of one. Pretty much just joined the forum to learn more about the 370 and possibly trade for one in the future (hopefully FI). Just figured I'd introduce myself and throw up a couple pics of the 5.0.

The handling of the mustang is far better than the earlier models and the shifting is actually really smooth. I put down 363whp and 353wtq on a mustang dyno bone stock, so the power is definitely there.

Good looking 5.0. What do you miss most about the Z?

Nice man! And welcome!

I like how you never see any Z's. There were 3 5.0's in the parking lot of my gym today. It also felt more like a sports car whereas this clearly feels like a muscle car. I like the tight knit community of Z owners too that I felt over on my350z

This is so true, I love that new 5.0 just like the Camaro V8 but there are too many, the Z is almost like an exclusive club.

Very nice looking 5.0 congrats.

Nice 5.0! We had another previous 350z owner come over from a Shelby GT500... said the same thing, he missed the Z. He is now driving a 370 (nismo) ;)

Here's his thread...

Yeah its weird. I was so power hungry with the 350 and I had an auto and I really wanted to get into a 6spd so the 5.0 met both of those requirements. I loved my Z though I literally felt like I could have cried when I sold it lol. I had the Nismo v2 kit on it, HKS exhaust, Injen Intake, TSW wheels, tinted windows, sound system etc... was a great learning experience for me

I know the feeling man. I had a 350 that got totaled before I was ready to let it go. I bought an Evo X a month later that was waaaay faster, but it just didn't give me the same satisfaction as the Z. I traded the X for a 370 seven months after that. I honestly haven't looked back since :tup:

Ughh stop talking me into this haha. If I could find a nice TT/SC'd 370 I'd gladly trade the mustang+cash for it

Welcome!

Nice 5.0 :) wow!

haha didn't expect to see another mustang owner on here

Damn .... I love the mustang 5.0 but what kept me from getting one is that there is a **** load of variations of mustangs and camaros which makes it very common on the streets

That's the same reason I overlooked the camaro ss

They both have cheap entry level v6 which many people buy and makes them common

There are quite a few of us here, actually. :icon17:

Good to know...are you considering a 370 too?
