Trading 370 for 5.0?

M4 I guess it was something from Roush but he never had his hood open and I couldn't see any special brakes on it. No stripes either. But I didn't look real close had to keep the kids from dropping thier ice cream in my car as thier mothers chased the escapees. LOL Love cruise nights.

I think Mustang's are fine cars, but I read somewhere that they'll give your children cancer. Just food for thought.

Their owners also have a habit of sexually abusing people with the initials A.S.

All Hail The Almighty Miata Doors, the only forum meme to be constantly referenced whenever possible.

Pretty impressive to have a meme that beats out FF quotes on a car forum, jus sayin

A good buddy of mine moved from a 350z to the 2011 GT500. He loves it- he wanted more power and didn't want the headaches of going FI with the VQ engine. For him it worked out perfectly.

It's a very cost-effective way to get 500+hp reliably (and with a factory warranty).

I'm personally not too crazy about the Shelby kit looks wise but it is very quick.

For me, I think it's a better idea to just grab a sportbike if you need that kind of speed fix... if you aren't tracking the car.

Very resilient meme. Almost as resilient as the doors themselves.

With so many Mustang tuners (Shelby, Saleen, Roush, etc.) I don't see how you could ever stop modding one, although it gives you plenty of options.

If I could afford to do that I would in a heartbeat.
I test drove a 5.0 and man does it haul ***!
The salesman let me do many things others wouldn't have let me done.
12 second stock and 4 seater + trunk.
That's something to think about and I find it impressive they did a comparison with the m3 and the stang held it's ground pretty well against the much more expensive m3.
With boltons + tune you'd be ripping up most cars.
And of course you have to upgrade the suspension.

the chevy dealer in my neighborhood has 15000 off 2011 corvettes 12000 off the zo6. id take the vette over the 5.0

id take the z over the 5.0 anyways

cheshirecat · 02-22-2011, 11:35 PM

I agree- the z06 is an amazing car and a great value.

EL Diablo · 02-23-2011, 01:25 AM

If the Z does not fit your life style then do the trade.
I've driven the 5.0... Awesome car that is a totally different ride than the Z.
I like them both for different reasons.
It's the Sports car/Muscle car difference you would expect.

I'd take both cars if I could. Hell I might even be conspiring to do so.

but if you can have only one car then the practicality of the cars would come into play
for me. That's why I have a Z.

I don't need no stinking back seats.

But I would like more than 400 HP.

Good luck!

How is a 370Z more practical than a '11 Mustang GT Premium?

Based on USAA purchase price, a 2011 370Z 6MT Coupe Touring + Sport would cost me about $4000 more than a 2011 Mustang GT Premium (Brembo, HID, 3.73, and Security).

This is a no brainer for me.

I'm just curious as to what some of your thoughts are and if anyone else has made a similar trade?

If ur gonna get a mustang? Make a worthy purchase. You can be one of the monotonous plain jane mustang GT's that roll out the assembly line as fast as Mc Donalds makes fries or you can hold out and get a limited production one of thiese...
