That's what I keep telling him. :yum:

The pink window tint is my favorite part. You know how Mercedes use that blue tint that makes everything outside look bluer and fresher and makes you feel like, "hot damn, I'm driving a Benz -- life is great!"... This is just like that expcept pink.

I bet that would sell like hotcakes in Japan.

Once again, here we go again comparing Muscle Cars to Sport Cars... :shakes head:

The old style gauges are what deter me from looking at it seriously.

I'm sure the new BOSS 302 will be a COMPLETELY different animal and probably put the Z to shame, but even though we lack almost 100hp to the GT the Z is still awesome in it's own right.

The GT doesn't match the feel of the Z in any respect... it's not a sports car, plain and simple. If you want the sports car feel... Z all the way. If you want muscle with lots of room to improve... GT for sure.

My problem is I want them both and at this time I can't have them both... and as diehard a Ford guy I am I don't know if I'm willing to part with the Z so I can get into the GT.

But damn I hate the VQ... I want more power. :mad:

I guess it's up to you to make the final decision but I think you'll have (if not already) more fun in the Z. I don't know how often your track or do performance driving, but more power isn't always more fun. Of course, you will make the final decision.

However, I will NOT mind driving this car, though I will never trade the Z for it. Once the Z is paid off ;). I have been craving for a low end tq monster! (540 HP/510 ft/lbs tq)

or black.

I don't really view it that way at all, because the Mustang aftermarket is so huge you can really take the car wherever you want... street, strip, or track... it's endless. A little suspension work and you will turn the GT into an uncompromised corner carver.

I would take that Shelby over the Z though...

I'm curious, wonder if theres any penis envy amongst the 4.6L owners about the 5.0, kinda like the 350Z owners about the 370, you hear anything like that M4A1?

I would be pissed if I bought a 4.7...

There always is a little bit, but I can tell you it's absolutely NOTHING like the 350/370 hate. There's a much tighter sense of community across the different Mustang models. :tup:

I always flash my lights at 350's, I've never gotten a response. I think they are all in a state of shock that a 370 owner even notice them. That or jealous rage, of course. :tup:
