there's still people complaining about it, just like there are still people that think all the Z transmissions have issues. The people complaining either
a: don't know how to drive a manual, or
b: came from a honda s2000

Only issue I have with the transmission is the distance between 1st and 5th in the mustang is about the spacing of 1-3 in the Z...still adjusting

ugh, I'm gonna be outta town for the last two autocrosses of the season, mustang is gonna have to wait for next year

At least I should get to smoke run with blades in the t-rex

m4a1mustang · 09-17-2011, 09:54 PM

Yeah, it's good stuff. I loved the Z but one of the things I was really missing was the torque of a nice V8.

Of course, the mustang looks like *** relative to the Z...luckily I can't see it while driving.

Yeah, the 5.0 is to me sort of what I expected the Z to be like (sans outright power). Of course I think the 5.0s look great; especially with the Boss 302 valence. Badass.

Z is much more of a sexy look, the 5.0 is more of an "i'm going to eat your kids for breakfast" kind of look. Mean as ****.

Taken anyone for rides yet? That's usually when the haters are like... "wait a minute... this is actually pretty f*cking awesome!"

They expect the power but are kind of blindsided by how quick it is on its feet and the absolutely incredible grip.

Steeda Sport springs will drop it a good bit, probably alright for you.

Those are actually what I want. A healthy wheel gap, and Sam thinks they are the best spring rate for the car without slamming the **** out of it.

I also want that red T5 Turbo behind the 5.0 in that pic.
