M4 I guess it was something from Roush but he never had his hood open and I couldn't see any special brakes on it. No stripes either. But I didn't look real close had to keep the kids from dropping thier ice cream in my car as thier mothers chased the escapees. LOL Love cruise nights.

A good buddy of mine moved from a 350z to the 2011 GT500. He loves it- he wanted more power and didn't want the headaches of going FI with the VQ engine. For him it worked out perfectly.
It's a very cost-effective way to get 500+hp reliably (and with a factory warranty). I'm personally not too crazy about the Shelby kit looks wise but it is very quick. For me, I think it's a better idea to just grab a sportbike if you need that kind of speed fix... if you aren't tracking the car. |

Very resilient meme. Almost as resilient as the doors themselves.
With so many Mustang tuners (Shelby, Saleen, Roush, etc.) I don't see how you could ever stop modding one, although it gives you plenty of options. |
If I could afford to do that I would in a heartbeat.
I test drove a 5.0 and man does it haul ***! The salesman let me do many things others wouldn't have let me done. 12 second stock and 4 seater + trunk. That's something to think about and I find it impressive they did a comparison with the m3 and the stang held it's ground pretty well against the much more expensive m3. With boltons + tune you'd be ripping up most cars. And of course you have to upgrade the suspension. |
the chevy dealer in my neighborhood has 15000 off 2011 corvettes 12000 off the zo6. id take the vette over the 5.0
id take the z over the 5.0 anyways |
I agree- the z06 is an amazing car and a great value.

I'm not a muscle car guy, but the new pony car is one of the best Ford's done - and they need it. As a company, seems they're gaining some traction. |

If the Z does not fit your life style then do the trade.
I've driven the 5.0... Awesome car that is a totally different ride than the Z. I like them both for different reasons. It's the Sports car/Muscle car difference you would expect. I'd take both cars if I could. Hell I might even be conspiring to do so. but if you can have only one car then the practicality of the cars would come into play for me. That's why I have a Z. I don't need no stinking back seats. But I would like more than 400 HP. Good luck! |

I am not a fan of the Mustang, but why do people think so much about their 370? It's a sports car, but nothing rare or exotic about it. Both cars still came off an automatic assembly line, it's not like Mr. Yamamoto built the Z himself for us.
|
Of the big three muscle cars, the Mustang stands out. I live on a winding road where Mustangs (Chally and marrow too) are seen every day holding up traffic. If the twists are important to you, test drive it on some turns before you buy.

Before you know you have a good deal what did you pay for the Z originally? What was finance rate and how much do you owe now? How much are they willing to give you on the trade in?
What is price of the Mustang and what is finance term? A payment less than your current car doesnt indicate a good deal. ...and its a Ford? Argh |
No the z isn't rare or exotic but I still haven't seen another one other than at a meet.

Some may cite rarity or scarcity, but that has to do with the fact that Mustangs are targeted to sell a lot more in the states, so they will be less scarce, their looks will probably age faster, they will probably show up in all parts of town. But I personally think a lot of the Z because it's fun, pretty, and inexpensive. Who cares if it's rare or exotic? It's not. It's just a joy to drive, and I'm pretty sure that Mustang owners feel the same about their cars. |

Well if you say "no" to one of the salesmen at any of the Lou Fusz dealerships you don't want to know what happens next.

I looked into it.. the Ford dealership wouldn't give me enough on trade in.
I'm kinda glad... I don't' think I'd like owning another Mustang. |

I love my car. I bought it over the new camaro, sti's, g37s, the evo. Non of those cars really wowed me. the 370z is just all around a sick car. between handling, speed, comfort (for a sports car), looks, everything. Its not like sitting in the new camaro where all u have to look at inside the car is the gauge cluster. Most cars now have boring interiors and thats where u spend most of your time. The Z has buttons and gauges and stuff everywhere. To me i wouldnt trade my car in. After i pay it off, i should be making more money and im gona try and buy an Audi S5. Such a sick carrrrrr. Havnt sat in one yet but you never know whats going to come out in the next year. |

For those that say the new Mustang can't handle, In the C&D lightening lap the Mustang
obliterated the EVO, Sti, and others around the track. Plus 4.3 0-60 and 12.8 1/4 mile times out of the box. This thing is a beast. |

Seems like CarMax might very well be the place to sell to, then.
|
Tough time to sell, though. Most places won't offer a lot right now, as it's a sports car and it's winter. That will be a justification for a low-ball offer. Believe me.
But then if you want to trade/sell in summer, the price of the car you want to buy inflates, assuming it's also a performance car. Ideally, sell in Summer, buy in November, but that doesn't fit many people's habits. |

Base + sport 18k miles. Not bad I guess but he wasn't really coming down on anything. I owned an older GT about 10 years ago. I know the new ones are very nice, but I haven't owned an American car since then... I just don't know what I'd do with it. |

I suggest using CarMax as the first stop. Their offers are good for 7 days or so many miles. Other dealers say they'll beat or match a CarMax appraisal. I'd take the appraisal with me, negotiate the deal for a set price at other dealers, and get the best deal possible. It'll take a lot of driving, but it can be done.
