Posters selling their Z for a GT

If they had priced the 5.0's the way they did with the base GT in 2005 (~$25k range) then I would be driving one right now. Not trying to sound condescending or a mustang hater but comparing the base 370z (which I got mine at $28k before the car I was trading in) to the base mustang GT is literally NIGHT AND DAY. I was extremely unhappy with the interior of the base mustang GT and especially unhappy with the price ($31k+). So even after dealer markup and all things considered with the 370z it was literally $20k out of pocket for me ($9500 trade-in with my '04 Mini Cooper S).

So not including trade-in my base 370z was $29.5k. I couldn't find a single '11 Mustang GT that was under $31k BEFORE tax, dealer crap, etc. My '09 370z is appraised at about $26k at 9k miles. Take that into consideration with ~$33k from a Mustang GT after all the additional fees, and I had like $1750 cash in rebates, etc, it's still $26,000 vs $31,250. I honestly cannot justify trading in my fun little red sports car PLUS $5k in cash for a Mustang GT. Sorry Ford, but your silly pricing has lost you a customer.
