If you ask me all the American manufacturers are just throwing ridiculous amounts of power into mediocre cars to get people to buy them. The whole retro styling needs to stop, EVERY company does it and its boring. Create something new and fresh please! Seriously are Americans so uncreative all we can do is a new take on an old design!! Plus I dont think Ive ever seen an appealing American cockpit. Straight line speed is boring, well not boring but def not as fun as rippin twisties. I do give the Stang a tad bit of cred since it looks like it can finally make a turn. M4a1mustang did it some justice in those dragon vids I guess big hp is fun and getting 30-40 whp off of an intake and tune is facking phenominal!! Being the guy that has the same car as 23 other guys in the parking lot isnt. IMO. How do you think the Japanese are killing cars off??? I feel the Z is a tremendous car at a pretty damn good price. I do feel like it could have come w a tad more power but whatever. I dont think its Japans fault that stupid Americans dont buy their cars. To me the Z imparts a sense of pride and individualism an American car at the same price point and even higher cant offer.

I used to be turned off to the American makes but:

1) I actually like the styling of the Mustang

2) It outperforms my 370Z in absolutely every way possible.

3) As far as driving a car no one else has... I guess that's a personal thing. Personally I feel like if you are concerned with being "unique" there are some other issues that probably need to be addressed... in your head... ya know?

There is a reason the Mustang is wildly popular. It's a successful formula that's been around before the Z. It's a part of Americana.

Bottom line is we all have choices. You want a Z? Get a Z. You want a Mustang? Get a Mustang. This is America, god damnit, and we can do whatever the **** we want!

The only thing I dislike is fanboy hatred. I am a car guy first and a Mustang/Z fan second. I don't hate on cars because that's just lame.
