Do you compare your "Z" to a previous car you had?

I loved my old 2003 Mustang GT. I had it from my senior year in high school to my junior year in college, so I have a lot of great memories with that car.

Surprisingly, the Z really reminds me of that car at times. The 3.7L's driving dynamics are eerily similar to the old 4.6L 2v V8 in the GT (with a 4.10 gear) and some of the sounds are very similar as well.

To answer your question, I don't think I "compare" the Z with the Mustang very often, but the Z makes me think about it every day. Those memories are the kind that will stick with you forever.

I'll always say my Stang was the best car I've ever owned for that very reason.

Agreed, man. My Mustang will always be the best car I've ever owned. It had so much character and I had so much fun with it.

I miss that car so much. I still have the window sticker from when I bought it. Every now and then I think about running a Carfax on the VIN to see where it is or what happened to it, but I don't. I just like to think it's living the good life somewhere bringing joy to some worthy new owner's life!
