I don't look at cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo, Merc SLS, etc. as supercars. Just high-end sports cars.

I think a lot of it depends on where you live, as well. In the Tysons Corner / McLean / Leesburg / Great Falls / Fairfax area of Northern VA when you see a Gallardo or 430 (and even the 458 now) the immediate reaction is, "cool, another one."

LOL how did I miss this post? Ok if you're one of the rare few who don't live among the densest population of millionaires perhaps in the US, is it still ok to consider Lambos super?

The "dime a dozen" factor is exactly why I could never buy a Mustang. I did test drive the 5.0 and it is badass, but when all is said and done, I'd still rather have the Z.

I've always said the the V6 waters down the mustang line a lot, but it is also the reason the mustang still exists. Ford has signed the mustang death certificate several times in past decades, but base model sales kept it alive.

yea, but atleast with the GT this time, they made it... quiet amazing...

I think the current V6 is a pretty impressive car though.

I'm glad they finally gave it some balls. My first Mustang was a V6 model... the little old 3.8L rated at 193 hp and 225 lb-ft. V6s always would get ragged on by the 4.6L V8 guys... "what goes around comes around."

The GT is quit? Get some aftermarket exhaust then.

I agree with this. The Z is a better, more exotic looking car and I don't see one on every street corner yet, unlike Mustangs.

m4a1mustang · 06-02-2011, 08:39 AM

I do like the look of the Z. Definitely far more striking than the Mustang is. I think it's more of a sleek and sexy look vs. the Mustang's brutish badass look. The Mustang is just one of those cars that looks menacing in your rear view mirror... the Z not so much... especially when Red__Zed is driving.
