New DD: So when are we going to get a dedicated Mustang section?

Mike · 05-31-2012, 09:35 PM

Traded my CRZ in for a GT today. I tried to be green but it was really boring and I just couldn't do it anymore!

This is the first automatic car I have ever had, only trucks before, but its extremely comfortable and will be great for my hour drive to and from the airport.

I went to the ford dealership just to sit in one and see if I liked it, but I was 90% sure in my mind that I was going to get a base 370z/auto on the lease special for my dd, but its a pretty sweet car.

And, now I can give up the pretense that the 370 is a dual purpose street/track car and can go all the way with it!!!!!!!

p.s. I asked Steve what the best mustang forum was and he said the370z.com!

The build is a long slow process, but it will get there. Next is Phunk's fuel solution, then seats, then cage and it should be done.

Its funny, I had the ABS problem that I took it to the dealer for, and apparently, the car stores more codes than check engine codes, and they had an entire page of codes on my car. my problem was just tire marbles stuck in the abs sensor area though. I'm gonna ask for a copy of the codes tomorrow when I pick it up.

Good decision not buying another 370z as a dd. At one point I wanted a 350z dd and 350z non daily driver. What was I thinking, it would of been boring.

Mike · 05-31-2012, 11:19 PM

I don't think it would have been, since I only drive my 370 about 7-10 weekends per year. I really enjoyed driving it at Zdayz, which was the first time I had street driven it since last Zdayz. However, the mustang is more comfortable for a DD, and its a heck of a lot more powerful.

It's true!

If you have any questions about what to do with it I can point you in the right direction.

BTW, glad you'll finally get to gutting the 370Z.
