What about the times where it is shado looking for some loving?

Never thought ford would make the mustang this amazing of a car. but tis ford...so if i wait one more model year...and then one more model year...

When the dark side gets a hold of you, it gets a hold of you, doesn't it?

Good thing for you is, looks like you don't have EITHER a Z or a 5.0 yet, and now can decide fully which one you like and will get. I had a Z for a year or so (like other folks here, like RedZed and m4a1), but then test drove a 5.0 and fell in love with it.... Let us know what you decide! Can't go wrong with either

Did you use to have a Z too, baldie? I did not know.

Amen. Steve, you know what happened to me right? I test drove a used 2012 with no brembos, and already fell in love with that one, and almost bought that off the lot, remember? Then asked you guys if BBK was worth it... So technically, I haven't even DRIVEN a BBK car, but ordered it that way anyways. I have no doubt it will even be better.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you actually haven't driven one yet. They are very nice.

If we use the Z as a base line, the standard GT has more body roll than the Sport package Z and the Brembo package cars have less. It's a stiffer car than standard but much sportier in the handling department. And the brakes are very nice.

btw... anybody know this guy? Looks like he's on this forum. Make sure you click on the link he puts in there... I will reserve comment since he's a fellow forum member.

Only thing that would make this perfect is if he was going to trade it in for a 5.0

You know, you're not the only one that has said that the BBK 5.0 actually has less body roll than the sport pkg Z. Some Z owners don't believe it lol. I'll know for sure when I get my car, but from testing the base 5.0 and how impressed I was already, I have no doubt the bbk 5.0 will be far better. p.s. those bbk rims are just s*xy.

m4a1mustang · 10-25-2011, 11:03 AM

The reason they don't believe it is because the roll rate is a bit better on the Z, so even though it rolls over more, it doesn't happen as quickly. The biggest problem with the 5.0s suspension is that it's a little under-damped in the rear. Konis or other aftermarket shocks/struts fix that, though.

GZ3 · 10-25-2011, 11:58 AM

i got a base, and drove the BBK and there is a difference...of course since then i have added ford K springs, tires and diff pads so am goooood

Yeah Definately will let you guys know. If you'd talked to me in the 90s or the early 00s i would have said something along the lines of never owning an american car. Yet hear I am. Cross shopping one.
