Haha! Yeah, I can see why people would think that, especially with the solid rear axle.

I can't really complain though. The 'Stang has been a good car for me. I'd always wanted a Mustang (growing up, that was THE car) and when they redesigned it, Ford had me hooked. I just put some FRP axle-backs on it too. Nice sound. Not too loud and no drone. And no "fart" sound either!

I owned a Z back in the day. An '86 300. I loved the car, but it was kind of a POS. Soooo many problems with it. But with the 370 model... well, Nissan's got their hooks back in me! I've got new car fever again!

But I'm trying to be good and wait until it makes financial sense. With the economy the way it is, big purchases of any kind seems like the wrong idea. So I'm waiting for a bit. We'll see how long I can hold out.

I'm a die hard Z car fan but the 1984-1987 300ZX was... well it was like the Mustang II - fugly.... the '88-89 at least they put the European bumpers on so the car didn't look like a TR-7 wedge....
