37Z vs Mustang 5.0

grover0878 · 03-15-2011, 09:37 PM

Since my STi got totaled I'm in the hunt for a new car. I've wanted the 370 since it first came out. The problem is that I've got a wife and 2 kids. The wife is saying get whatever I want but deep down I think she wants me to get something with a back seat. I've got a 370Z Touring Sport Package on hold that I can get VPP pricing on so great deal, and I"m looking at the 2012 Mustang GT 5.0. I've seen some discussion on that car or someone talking about it, what do you guys think. I've got about 2 days to decide for sure.

So many threads on this ...

Test drive both and see which you like better. You can read people's opinions online all you want, but the best thing to do is experience driving both cars yourself. You might even like the Mustang 5.0 better than the Z after driving it, there are some people on this forum who have switched over. In that case it would be a win-win for you

It's up to what you prefer. IMO, the only thing the Z has on the Mustang is exclusivity looks.
They are totally different cars, in terms of feel and practicality.

If all it has is looks, why do you own a Z and not a Mustang?

I'm telling you this because your married, plus two kids. Buy the Mustang! You'll be better off in so many, many ways buying the Mustang.

5.0 with kids in the back? Death trap.

Your on a 370z forum, and want to know if we would suggest a 370z or a Mustang...

Hmm..

Hmm..

Funny part is, most would suggest the mustang.

Cyberium · 03-16-2011, 12:00 AM

Well, I for one wouldn't mind him buying a mustang... I mean the less people who own 370z's the better... it's more exclusive that way

Plus if kids are a factor, then it's probably a no brainer.

Buy a mini-van.
