Stangs appeal to rednecks/nascar fans and the meat heads in NJ and trust me we have no short supply of either. To be fair I think the majority of Zs I see are driven by rich dudes wives. I guess when you look at it that way Id rather be a hick than a rich dudes wife


No need to go derogatory bro. Not cool. We're all car guys here and it's about respect. How would Z owners feel if folks started chirping about how Z's/imports only appear to some Asian/rice stereo type? It offends/offended me a whole lot when folks called me a ricer, etc when I obviously was not. There may be Stang drivers/owners that will take offense to what you say. A car is a car is a car. If you don't like it fine. I'm Asian and have been an import lover all my life, but I have learned to respect all cars, domestic or not. The Z is a GREAT car. I know because I owned it. But there are plenty of OTHER great cars out there.

some people are just close-minded. I know I was for a long time. I just look past it.

Agreed. I'm a NASCAR fan, gun owner, and Mustang driver but I am FAR from a redneck or hick. Nor was I some japophile when I drove my Z.
