You need to take me for a spin in it, I really have to see what the big deal is with them. Ive been reading the forums and ive noticed at least 4 people who got rid of their Z's for Stang GT's.

If grip is available on Saturday I can arrange for that.

I would just figure its a downgrade, you get faster straight line speed, but cornering compared to a Z is no contest.

They are actually dead even in the cornering department. Stock for stock the Mustang probably has a little bit of an advantage.

Dan actually sold his Z because he rode along with me on The Dragon earlier this year.

You need to prove me wrong....Did you get a fully loaded one?

Not fully, but it's loaded.

I should qualify my comments. It's got the Brembo package which is what you want if you are interested in handling.

I can attest to the handling. Steve's 5.0 was absolutely flying around the Dragon (when I could see him since he was so far ahead

)

True story

m4a1mustang · 11-10-2011, 01:07 PM

If you aren't fluent in Mustang, the Brembo package includes:

Pirelli PZero summer tires
Brembo brakes
Stiffer springs
Stiffer shocks
Lower control arms from the GT500
Aggressively tuned stability and traction control

It's basically an American e92 M3.

Cristobal09 · 11-10-2011, 01:07 PM

And you must be doin alright if you already have all those mods added on. Im on vividracing right now looking at exhausts, and while cheaper than M3 exhausts, they're still really expensive. Im reading the forums now (I like to search before posting questions) trying to find out what mods do the most to these cars.

m4a1mustang · 11-10-2011, 01:08 PM

Yeah the Z definitely isn't cheap to mod, but it's not as bad as some other cars.

Definitely. That's why I've only bought used performance parts! Saved myself like $1k already just by doing that and they work exactly the same.
