If the Z is not fast enough for you, that's just how it is (unless you go FI). But throw the Z around some turns at speed and then go drive a Mustang. Of the four you listed, IMO the Z will give you the best track experience. Just my

I strongly considered a 2012 or 2013 5.0 Mustang congruently with the Z. I even test drove a used 2012 automatic for a weekend. Loved it, the torque is extremely intoxicating and I love V8's, especially 32V. I think mildly lowered and a good exhaust system on the stang and it would be all that much sweeter. Handled well too for a bigger car. Just couldn't work a good deal on the stang and it came down to timing with the Z. I was considering a WRX Sti but I don't think they thought I was a serious buyer. Kind of got that, "You're not worthy of our precious Subaru" or you're here just to tire kick and be a test pilot only. They did not offer me any test drives on the WRX so that turned me off in a way. A two seater is not an issue with me since the wife has a three row Traverse for our small family and I have a Mazda daily driver. I know there are plenty of Mustangs cruising around but I'd go with the Z or Mustang. It's really hard to get used to the short first gear of the Z having come from my ZX-10R that would pull 100 mi/hr in first gear LOL.

yeah i want to test drive the mustang today , i will be doing but i just feel like the z has sooo manyyy curvess and just looks way better MHO i will need to go test drive another z because i need to drive it a bit harder to seee the straight line speed an accelration actually because first time i was just cruising because cops were everywhere

It's not really that hard to figure out the orders of those *numbers*.

370 > 335 > 10(X) > 5.0

Yeah, but the scoring works like golf

I came from a 4 seater - 2008 Subaru Legacy GT. Don't miss it, but then again, I have a suburban to haul people/things when I need to.

Best Forum name I've seen in awhile lol

For the OP. I had no issues going to a 2 seater from my 4 door Lancer Ralliart.

Coming from an M3, I don't think you'll get the same "off the line" jolt but this car is a blast to drive and as mentioned, based on your list....more rare, fun to toss around and I think the Z will be more reliable.

Its funny, just today someone stopped me at a light while I was driving my wife's 328 and asked "how is it, giving you lots of problems??" lol.

So what. One magazine rag voted the Volt car of the year. I quit subscribing to C & D because of stupidity like that

I do not like a boxy 4 door cars. Put the Z up against the EVO and see who wins in the looks department. The Z will beat the EVO hand downs.

You have posted the results of Car and Driver several times. You must have an inferiority complex about your car or are you just trying to be a smart @ss.

lacarnut · 07-19-2012, 09:40 PM

I do not know what possessed me to buy a G37 sedan after driving (2) 350Z's for 6 years. There is no comparison in that car and a Z for handling and looks. I would not buy a BMW. Too many maintenance problems. A couple of years ago, BMW's and GM vehicles were neck and neck on vehicles declared lemons. I found the interior of the Ford as just plain butt ugly. The EVO would be my last pick.

I had more compliments on my Z than you could shake a stick at. It is a beautiful car that puts the others to shame. Ordered a 2013 Z a week ago.
