Said Bye to the Z tonight!

ProfessorDave · 11-17-2010, 10:58 AM

Z count on the work today = 0 (although there are at least 2 350 coupes, 2 350 roadsters, 1 other 370, and 1 300ZX in the area)
Mustang GT count = 4 (does the new one say "5.0" on the side, older ones say "GT"?)
CRZ count = 0

So that proves it...

I can count!

m4a1mustang · 11-17-2010, 11:00 AM

Yeah, the 2011s have the 5.0 badge. 2010s just say "GT."

I see a few 2010s but most of the Mustangs around here are V6 models or older GTs. I admit, there are a lot of V6s around, but as far as the 5.0 goes... they are very rare.

m4a1mustang · 11-17-2010, 11:11 AM

Haha, it's all relative. I think if I lived in an area where they truly were all over the place it might get annoying, but I just like the car so I'm happy. Though a spider has taken up residence in the car so I might sell it and get a GTR.

Get a CRZ. It's also three letters.

Now that I would support!

I have grand dreams of owning a 2012 GT-R, but I'd really need to get a daily driver since I wouldn't want to put 70 miles a day on a GT-R. One day perhaps.

I'm sure I'll own a GTR at some point. I just need to get use out of this car before I move on. I got 1.5 years out of the Z so I figure I'll do the same with this then probably spring for a 911 variant.

Here you go Steve!

hey, at least one thing good came out of this.

mick · 11-17-2010, 03:52 PM

to me, a 370z nismo is more desirable than a CR-Z

however, two CR-Zs and about $5k probably would be more desirable than a 370z nismo for most people

sonic370 · 11-17-2010, 05:56 PM

let me see honda or 370 hard choice!!!

in my area honda's,mustang and camaro's are like ants there everywhere...

imho the 370 hell even the 350 is considered rare...

i'll give it to a camaro it will turn heads..nobody looks at mustangs there everywhere.. unless it's a shelby cobra saw and heard one today badxxx

mdbrich · 11-17-2010, 07:50 PM

It really came down to me not wanting to sink the majority of money into a car. Not to mention a car that sat in the garage most of the time. I wanted something that was fun, stylish and less costly. I'm loving the CR-Z to be honest. The speed really is not a factor when I purchased. Whole user experiece is. That being said I have a great time in the CRZ and think its a better suit for my application. Which is the only person who matters in the this case. So Yeah I made the right choice. That and I do plan on have 2 DD's instead of 1 sunday and one DD. Family is on the way.

mick · 12-06-2010, 11:05 PM

wow.
in 2012 honda will produce a 200-hp CR-Z that will go from 0-62 mph in 6 secs. that's only a second longer than a 370z
