nothing more, nothing less.

I personally love any thing with wheels. If it's your car and you have pride and put work into it I'm not going to put it down. I've seen every thing in the custom car world from pimped out volvo station wagons to full gold wrapped rolls royces. While it may not be for me I don't feel it's my place to talk poorly about your car unless you ask my opinion, and really if I don't know you I'm probably going to hold back a little. These guys just offered up how much I over payed for a NISMO and how there really not that fast. I wasn't surprised because I've seen the mustang guys make the same stir up the same stuff when guys post on the facebook C&C page. Just kind of got caught off guard they would do it in person.

I'm also not completly anti-mustang. I drove and blew this one up multiple times over about 10 years.

I like the Mustang, I may eventually own one. I would really like a GT350-R.

That said, they're a little big IMO. I like the size of the Z.

Some dealers are offering a free dog with a new mustang.......that way you will have someone to walk home with.....

Google Mustang jokes and be prepared to laugh your A$$ off!

I actually like the new 'stang but I like my Z better.

Would there even be a need for a discussion or comparo if the Z had 400+ HP?

Let's face it, more HP is what most of us want.

Ignorant people also forget weight and weight distribution from front/rear kills horsepower. Great example is the alfa romero 4c 2200lb car 237bhp does 0-60 is low 4seconds and top speed of over 160mph.

Lotus runs fast with comparatively little horsepower.

it's also a lot more raw than every other car on the market. but yes... they do make great power to weight ratio

I liked the previous front design with the more nostalgic look. the new one is kinda eh.

I did like the rear tail lights and how the blinkers moved as you indicated. that was neat

The number of horses matters a lot less to me. What matters is that the engine feels powerful for the car it's in. IE the Alfa Romeo. 237HP puts down all that performance. That's what matters most.
