Just traded 650rwhp 5.0 for 10' Z

///PureSwank · 06-16-2013, 10:23 PM

Damn 650whp? That's almost 750 at crank. I know your Z feels slow as F$ck at full throttle. I'm sorry! But lets be real now. 650hp 5.0 is no joke!!!

Exactly my thinking...

No chance I would've made that swap down, unless I had money off hand to build it immediately

Vichtz · 06-16-2013, 11:56 PM

I agree. That mustang is beautiful man. The Z is a great platform though, you'll enjoy it!

boarderbob · 06-17-2013, 08:12 AM

Welcome aboard! Was it hard to part with the Mustang, or was it amicable?

b15 · 06-17-2013, 11:03 AM

Congrats on the new ride and enjoy the Z! While I'm not a fan of Mustangs, that's sure a lot of whp. How are you adjusting?

SmokeEater27 · 06-17-2013, 11:52 AM

welcome man

!! and to piggyback on the other comments already made you had an awesome looking mustang there. Ive always been a fan of them but older body styles like the 5.0 foxbody coupes

..Hope you truly enjoy the Z though and im sure the Hp difference will take some getting used to but i guess thats the give and take

vividracing · 06-17-2013, 01:16 PM

Nicely done! I was on the fence about getting the Mustang rather than the 370z for a while as well. Welcome to the silver Z family

Sh0velMan · 06-17-2013, 01:48 PM

Soooo yeah. I would have at least gotten a sport package or Nismo...and a TT kit.

I don't think I could've traded down ~375 WHP and given up good brakes and a limited slip.

Glad you're happier though!

Tazicon · 06-17-2013, 02:07 PM

Here is my take. With in sight of my drive way I can see 3 houses with Mustangs, 3 with Chargers, and 2 with Cameros. In all of my community including what I can't see from my drive way I am the only one with a 370Z. I like to be different..........

Yeah, tell that to the 650rwhp Mustang 5.0 sittin on big fat M/T's as it BLOWS by you brother. Lol Don't get me wrong man, I love the 370z which is why I have invested a lot of doe into it. No pun intended. Its what makes you happy and like you said. You ARE different. The 370z sure is a lot sexier. That I can't deny.

Yeah, dare to be different...no matter the cost, right?

I'm sorry, a 650whp car that can turn and stop can't really be replaced by an unmodified base model 370Z. It just can't.

That said, if you get to where you just loathe the car and anything else is better, I actually understand that from previous cars. Sometimes you gotta just get into something new. But the fact you're talking about not doing anything to the Z tells me that's probably not the case, and there's probably more to the story than we've heard. :P

Every time I see a mustang next to any Z I am so freaking happy I bought my Z. Its so beautiful to look at, it looks like its doing 80 standing still and the mustang looks like a guy on roids who cant even wash his armpits his body is so ridiculously shaped and typical looking.

b15 · 06-17-2013, 02:56 PM

Obviously the OP took the power difference into consideration and still got rid of his Mustang. So yes, I guess a Z (base) can replace it. Everyone is different.

fonzo179 · 06-17-2013, 03:06 PM

In the grand scheme of things, the Mustangs seem to stand for power, while the Z stands for more style and control.

To each his own, but style and control usually draw more attention from Male/Female crowds. Whereas Mustang or muscle cars for that matter will usually draw a guy-heavy gathering.

I'm in it for the ladies. Z FTW

You bought a car because of chicks?

Both the Z and Mustang are about speed, style, fun. They both do it differently.
