I am not a fan of the Mustang, but why do people think so much about their 370? It's a sports car, but nothing rare or exotic about it. Both cars still came off an automatic assembly line, it's not like Mr. Yamamoto built the Z himself for us.

Of the big three muscle cars, the Mustang stands out. I live on a winding road where Mustangs (Chally and marrow too) are seen every day holding up traffic. If the twists are important to you, test drive it on some turns before you buy.

The 5.0 Stangs doesn't handle that bad at all, the 2 that I test drove one auto other manual both took curves and corners quite well.

Why do people think a lot about the car they chose to own? Well, if you own one, it means that car won the comparison in your opinion with what was out there at the time.

Some may cite rarity or scarcity, but that has to do with the fact that Mustangs are targeted to sell a lot more in the states, so they will be less scarce, their looks will probably age faster, they will probably show up in all parts of town.

But I personally think a lot of the Z because it's fun, pretty, and inexpensive. Who cares if it's rare or exotic? It's not. It's just a joy to drive, and I'm pretty sure that Mustang owners feel the same about their cars.

No the z isn't rare or exotic but I still haven't seen another one other than at a meet.

Well if you say "no" to one of the salesmen at any of the Lou Fusz dealerships you don't want to know what happens next.

I looked into it.. the Ford dealership wouldn't give me enough on trade in.

I'm kinda glad... I don't' think I'd like owning another Mustang.

It sounds like for made a pretty sick car. I havnt done much research on the matter tho...

I love my car. I bought it over the new camaro, sti's, g37s, the evo. Non of those cars really wowed me. the 370z is just all around a sick car. between handling, speed, comfort (for a sports car), looks, everything. Its not like sitting in the new camaro where all u have to look at inside the car is the gauge cluster. Most cars now have boring interiors and thats where u spend most of your time. The Z has buttons and gauges and stuff everywhere. To me i wouldnt trade my car in.

After i pay it off, i should be making more money and im gona try and buy an Audi S5. Such a sick carrrrrr. Havnt sat in one yet but you never know whats going to come out in the next year.

I'm having the same thing. Most dealers are offering like $25k for the Z. With touring + nav, and under 6k, that's just ridiculous.

Yea, the MOST I've had a dealership offer for trade in is 23.5k.

Base + sport 18k miles.

Not bad I guess but he wasn't really coming down on anything.

I owned an older GT about 10 years ago.

I know the new ones are very nice, but I haven't owned an American car since then... I just don't know what I'd do with it.

I had a 2003 GT that I sold in '06. You pretty much do the same thing with the car that you do with any other car... drive it.
