WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIVES A F*CK!!
The man already made his decision and is happy. Im pretty sure he and the majority of the members know what he can do with a SC or TT! He obviously didnt want to take that route. So just congratulate the guy and stop coming up with things that wont make a difference!

And so do I but telling him is senseless. i agree with you about keeping the Z especially since i live in TX and Mustangs are at every street corner but we got different tastes. i do want to atleast try drive one though

i'll see if the local ford stealership will let me test drive one, just to see what all the hype is about.

I wish Nissan gave us that kind of support.

if u saw the numbers that came out with ford racing parts, the filter/muffler kit/tune, it states 16 hp/8tq, but made 60 lb-ft at 1500 with 93 octane, and elminates the skip shift. looks like the non-racers like the kit cause of the extra enjoyability with the torque and the warranty being intact.

Are you as annoying in real life as you are here? Jesus, we all have different tastes, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. For me a Mustang would be much more practical day to day for hauling groceries, friends and family etc. All for the same or better performance and gas mileage as the Z. There are some superficial and aesthetic things I don't like about this current model, or I too would own one. Just be happy for the guy who has been a valuable member here. It's not like he traded the Z in for a 4 cylinder Camry!

I got what I wanted out of the Z and now I'm enjoying this one. So let's just all be happy because we're all happy, right? :hello:

Even having the Z, you was or were a Mustang fanatic. So you got what u wanted, screw everyone else. I'm still going to give you $hit, especially on Zday! :tup:

glad i'm not his friend or your family, so he won't shove me in that cramped rear seat of the mustang :eekdance:

well, congrats to him. hope he enjoys his new toy. btw, don't be surprised if people traded the z for camrys. many times people grow up, get married, have kids, and if they can't afford to have 2 cars, they trade the sports car for a sedan or van. why do you think i bought the z so quickly soon after graduation while i'm still single?

Well it beats walking! I'm glad you realize that you are lucky to have a car most people envy and could never afford. Go take a look at a new Mustang with an open mind and you might actually find some things to like. :tup:

new 5.0 is really impressive! Congrats on the purchase!

on reason

Its a ******* bigass mustang.

The looks alone make me want to get it.

that huge *** engine.

that mustang just reeks of win and badass.

but my opinion mostly hs to do with them not being sold here and them being ALOT more exclusive than the Z.

Lemers 09-08-2010 07:55 AM

I'll just keep my z and when the miles get up there and the engine starts to go. Then I'll think about putting in the less expensive but more powerful 5.0.

Really by the time that happens there will be a much more powerful engine availible out there.

If you can go about it with an open mind you'll like it. Test a car with the Brembo package and 3.55 or 3.73 gear, though.

The Brembo brake Mustangs stop quicker than the Z. Braking power is insane on this car. Handling is actually pretty close to the Z. The Z feels a lot softer than the Mustang and has much more understeer. The Mustang has a MUCH better balance but is not as precise or direct as the Z.

Basically, both cars achieve nearly identical results in handling and braking. They just go about it a little differently.
