I've seen it driving around behind a Maxima, and I have pictures to prove it.:inoutroflpuke:

I've seen it getting an HJ from a red 370 behind the Starbucks and I have video to prove it. :ugh2:

I've seen it getting a lot more than an HJ from your old car....:ohsnap1:

Same with a GTR.

Implicating yourself yet again, I see. :yum:

I've seen it be challenged by a Scion TC with an exhaust. I have to admit, the TC was pulling away from it quickly and easily :roflpuke2:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

You're quite the good sport, Steve! (although I totally believe the Scion story).

To be fair, he left the Z's in the dust as well. Had to be pushing at least 1000whp.

Thanks, Dave! The Scion story is real. A guy in a Scion TC with a fart can was trying to intimidate us at our meet two weeks ago. :bowrofl:

Traded my 370 for a a 5.0 a few weeks ago and as much as I miss the Z, the 5.0 amazes me everytime I drive it.

As for the Boss - Ford Racing just released the Boss 302 intake manifold for purchase. One of the regular 5.0 guys installed it and got a 50 hp gain on the top end. These cars are just beasts.

I know they're in the same price range, but I just don't see how so many people are going from a Z to a Mustang. It's a performance upgrade for sure, assuming you go with the Brembo's etc, but it's a transition from a small, Japanese, 2-seater "sports car" to an American Muscle car (that now has handling capabilities). To me that's as similar as switching from a Z to a Jeep.

I'd make the switch to a Jeep that could lap the Z around a track the way a mustang does.

I heard from a forum source that the SRT8 Jeep will do this. :stirthepot:

The Mustang was equipped with the "Parked at a starbux with the driver inside getting coffee" mod, iirc.
