i have always been a ford guy, but wanted to try the vette for something different. i liked it, but the interior was extremely cheap and i don't like corvette owners in general.

i was considering a bmw m3, but after researching them they are a bitch to maintain and have a lot issues. the Z seems to be pretty reliable from what i have read, besides some tranny issues, the high pitched noise, and high oil temps. but i figure if i buy one it will be under warranty so i should be ok.

anyway, i was just looking for some objective opinion from previous mustang owners. i have yet to drive a 370z, but plan to as soon as the weather gets better. i am considering a 07/08 gt500, the 370z, or maybe the new '11 mustang when it comes out...
I haven't owned a Mustang since my college days in the mid-sixties when I had one of those neat little '66 Mustang convertibles (as we all say, I wish I would have kept it!). So my comments aren't really relevant re:today's product. However, having said that, the quality and reliability factors of Nissan vs. Ford is a major consideration. No offense to Ford owners and fans, but by perception is that Nissan's production quality and long term reliability are superior to Ford's and that's important---just the thoughts of an OldGuy.
