fullmonty · 05-30-2011, 10:21 PM

LONDON ONTARIO....CANADA haha
sorry guys! thats confusing either way still dont see many z's! see lots of mustangs, not many cobras! but ONLY car guys know the difference.
its nice to know that my car IS faster than 95% of the other guys.... i know i can make 370 faster too but thats going to cost $$>.. for $7000 into my car i can get 700RWHP! vroom lol

spidartanks · 05-30-2011, 10:36 PM

Im really surprised that there are people on the 370 forum saying keep cobra....

i guess i could always go Z06 too..or Viper! those are around the same price as a new 370z.... used of course though

We're car enthusiasts, and just because we own a Z? Doesn't mean we're going to be snobs. Either way good luck.

Welcome to the forum, there is a ton of good info here for you.

90 ST · 05-30-2011, 11:37 PM

it's funny i don't get a lot of looks in my Z, but i do with my older truck. I am in Alberta though, so...
Not a lot of Z here either lots of 'stangs though.

mikeSS · 06-05-2011, 05:18 AM

ya the 370z is a nice, fun, and easy thing to drive. it makes a perfect power and handling and looks for a sports car in its price range. the stang is cool, but i think you need something newer and different. i know my next car will be a turbocharged car, i am kind of sick of N/A v8s at the moment.

JTTZR · 06-05-2011, 06:57 AM

Why is everyone talking straight-line performance - the 370z is an incredibly well handling sports car with more than enough performance on public roads. If you're into track days slap an oil cooler in, do your standard bolt-ons and if that isn't enough add a supercharger.

If I had to make the decision I'd go Z again any day.
No harm intended & just my five cents.

m4a1mustang · 06-05-2011, 07:11 AM

If I had the Cobra already I would keep it over the Z. The Terminators are badass cars and they will hold far more value than the Z will, if that means anything to you.

But if I was looking to buy a DD I would probably go with the Z over the Cobra... Its a nicer car to have to live with every day than the Cobra. Just don't expect to make Cobra power without spending some serious cash.

cfweber · 06-05-2011, 08:27 AM

why not another Mustang of some kind?

I ask this as a Z owner transfixed by the Mustang vs Camaro

pony war which is about to explode in the next year or so

ZL1, rumored Z28

2012 is the 45th anniversary for the Camaro

versus

Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, Boss Mustang

50th anniversary model year is 2014 for the Ford

Gunzero · 06-05-2011, 04:50 PM

just save your money

WAGAWAGA · 06-05-2011, 05:53 PM

Your Cobra looks nice, and has low miles on it. I really liked how the stangs looked back then compared to now. BTW are u sick of driving it? or u just love the Z?

fullmonty · 06-06-2011, 07:05 AM

I didn't realize it was a vert, not that it changes anything. Keep the Cobra. I really think you'll be disappointed if you buy the Z.
