If a tree falls in the forest but noone is around to hear it.... there's still 10 Mustangs to every one person on the road.

I just have to chime in again. Guys, the Stang 5.0 is SICK. It is a very nice car especially for the money. Let's not be narrow minded.

That said, the only car I would part ways with my Z for is a GTR... and I may be doing that shortly... werd.

m4a1mustang · 09-30-2010, 03:58 PM

Lol half asian bro. I'm still repreZenting the Z crew with my NISMO plate frame!

That's funny because I REALLY want a blue 2012!

Yeah you would think with Ford being such an awful company that wouldn't be the case. Wonder why? Excuse my ignorance.

Because Jethro and Cletus won't drive anything but good ol'

But, more seriously, Ford's quality has significantly improved in recent years.

totally and the new stang will have a few bad apples too. All cars do. Dont know why when its all built the same but it happens. I have put 23K miles on my Z in around 15 months and havent had a problem yet. No ECU whine and the hatch was fixed with the new fix, other than that no problems other than the excessive amount of people that pull up to it and say what a cool looking car it is. I just want more power cuz Im used the Z power already.

VCuomo · 09-30-2010, 06:25 PM

So - are you putting Miata doors on that new 'stang?

I'm really impressed with the performance of the new mustang. Even though physical changes are EXTREMELY subtle, it does look better than previous years. BUT...
I know this much... the stangs increased performance is only shown on the track. Take that POS live axle on the road and take a turn too hard and you are all over the place. God forbid its raining, that's pretty much a suicide mission with every block you drive.
Generally the stang is annoying cuz its just everywhere. That style has been in production 6 years. They sold around 100,000 a year. Between the 93-04 models and the 05-up models mustangs are utterly annoying.. I give them props for being the only sports car to stay around aside from the vette. But, I just could be part of the eternal sea of cheesy looking mustangs on the highway.
I'm sure the performance is top notch though and on track day u r sure to have loads of fun. I just hope the op has a real car for the streets. Cuz the stang outside of a track or well paved highway road sucks.

m4a1mustang · 09-30-2010, 08:28 PM

I don't know where you're getting that because I certainly don't feel like I'm all over the place with the live axle. I drive over bumpy *** roads and honestly it feels no worse than the Z did. This thing does NOT drive like my '03 and not even anything like the '05-09s for that matter.

And I just drove it home tonight in some torrential downpours and it was just fine. Again, no worse than the Z.

nicknick · 09-30-2010, 08:58 PM

Sounds like the OP got unreasonably upset too quickly and did not give the Zed a chance, it seems that he assumes that new cars should be perfect and that there are no teething problems. shame really
