Default Lots of good ideas

What I never seen around here are 370Zs! The dealer sells them on a regular basis but I rarely see any on the road. Mustangs are okay, no offense, but they are a dime a dozen around here. I am seeing more Challengers but way more Camaros. For me the Mustang is kind of like the Corvette, just not unique enough.

Yeah, it really depends on where you are. Up here I see far more 370s than I do new 5.0 Mustangs. Most all the Mustangs around here are V6s but the 350/370 outnumber them.

Norhtern Virginia? My family was living in Alexandria when I was born (Bethesda Naval Hospital, mom in Navy, Dad in Marines). I have a question for you. I have checked out some of the specs provided here by various members on the Mustang and it seems to me this may be a better deal than the Camaro or Challenger I looked at. All gussied up, with the 5.7 engine NOT the 6.1, the Dodge dealer across the street from where I am typing this wants $39K! I have a 66 Plymouth Sport Fury 440 CID and it weights about 3800 pounds and is much larger than the Challenger. I still cannot understand why Chrysler has to make their cars so heavy. So is the Mustang the better deal?

Default Jack away

My original post left a great deal of lattitude so I certainly have no problem with hi-jacking anything. I have enjoyed everything I have read. Two observations. Yesterday I had to take my wife's Sentra to work because my Z wouldn't even get out of my tiny cul de sac. Everyone drove on the 5 to 7 inches of snow before the plow got to us and turned it into hard pack. I traded in a Pathfinder for this Z so its been a long time since I was stuck, sliding backwards, side ways, and so forth. But when I got home, I had missed my Z. Also, I really like the Red Z, but the pearl white one has really grown on me. In fact, if I get another one, it will probably be white. Finally, I decided to grab myself by the collar and ask a tough question. The Z is a sports car, the Challenger is a muscle sedan. Trying to decide between them is, at the risk of sounding cliche, like deciding between an apple or an orange. That is the real issue, do I want an apple or an orange. Instead of bothering you folks with this question, maybe I need to spend some more time on the apple or orange question. I thank everyone for their patience.

The problem is, as a car guy, you'll have the apple but want the orange. Then when you get the orange you miss the apple.

It's really tough what we have to deal with.

There are so many cars I want to have all at the same time but right now it's just not possible.
