I was looking at Mustang GT's and BMW 335i's/135i's.

I always wanted to get a Mustang GT growing up, but I knew they were coming out with the 2011's soon and I didn't want to be the slow mustang on the block. I didn't really want to put in the effort to supercharge it to bump the power up into the 400+hp range. Also, they are a dime a dozen.

The BMWs are really nice, but the maintenance is ridiculous and I was looking for something a little more true to a sports car vs a performance luxury.

The Z was affordable, a true two seater sports car, more rare than the other two, and I love the styling. I have to say that I have been very satisfied with my decision!

come on now some are not being fair.when the c5 vette came out in 97
it had a total make over.GM didn't use any parts from the 96...
and most will admit the c5 still turns heads even today after the c6 is out...

the only reason i rambled about that is i feel the 350 and the 370 share the
traits.

i lived thru the 70"s and to call the mustang,camaro,charger of today muscle
cars is just wrong imo. back then they were compact cars with big block v8
stuck in them.. there were roadrunners and gto's and other's that would blow their doors off..

Today, you don't need big blocks to pump out the power. Compact cars? Not quite but much smaller than say a '70 Buick Electra by comparison. Today they are mid, if not, full size cars compared to a Honda Fit.

I love my '76. It's loud, the tranny whines, the ride is somewhat harsh and the seating is not comfortable for long hauls. However, parts are readily available and not that expensive and I can tune it with a screwdriver, wrench and my hearing/touching. And, it gets as many looks as my Z roadster.
