Yeah, I get the impression sometimes that C&D is on Honda and BMW's respective payrolls.

I'm sure the cheap refers to price, and for the performance, 30k isn't a high entry price, but you're right, it's not really cheap either.

Bottom line.. the two best cars in this market right now are the 2011 5 liter Mustang and the Z. I looked at all the competitors and, save these two, the rest just aren't worth it. I chose the Z because it "felt right" to me. It was almost exactly what I was looking for.

I've had both so I'll agree with you there.

^ that's exactly what happened to me

I had to drop it off to get wrapped over the weekend and I was going through some serious separation anxiety

that's how much I love my Z

Alot of these other cars are only built for straight line speeds and are not built for all purpose reasons such as for handling. Which then brings up track performance. The Z will out class any of the close competitors. This is MO.

It could stand to lose some weight some where though
