See, this is what I'm talkin' about! :rofl2:

:iagree:

Hey, since none of you guys are FI yet I pretty much serve as your body guard. When unruly C5 Corvettes try to torment you on the way to Uncle Julio's for lunch I defend your honor! :bowrofl:

oooohhhh rough. Actually, I'd like to see that race. C5 vs. '11 GT.

If you weren't at the back of the line you would have seen it. No contest. :icon18:

Next time I see you, I'm gonna

so did you buy it? I get to drive a 5.0 when ever i want...i even took it for a week thanks to my brother in law...he has a Sweet 5.0 with I/ and some bama tune or can tune whatever...but to be honest...its a great car...but once the thrill of the TQ wears off this car is pretty dull and boring...again thats just opinion/******* and everyone has one...Terry keeps asking me when we are gonna trade again...i just like to change the subject

I'm at a ford dealer right now trying to join the ranks....:stirthepot:

lollygagz oh noez!

I wish I could just add the stang to the stable straight up. That would be sick.

And I'm guessing, after this winter's snowfalls, that you're not exactly ready to get rid of your Scooby for another RWD sports car? :roflpuke2:

I might get transferred to new Mexico. That would solve all my problems.


These guys are offering me only 26k. Killing me. They also said only 25 if I take off my exhaust for the stocker.

:( but then Mid-Atlantic Z Owners Club hez prolemz... of the no Dan variety :(


:icon17:

eh, all I add is more reacharounds another red Z. And apparently all red Z's eventually turn into mustangs.

:icon18:

So true. :bowrofl:

:iagree:

Ford and the mustang 5.0 have both come a long way.
But i just couldn't do it. For me the reasons would be
you see em on every street corner. And the 370 just
looks better hands down. I mean how fast can you
really go on public roads... i don't won't or need a back
seat. besides i still think the Z is better built than the ford. imho

Both are bootiful, baldie!

thanks man, i was about to pick up a white 370z, but the GT was too good of a deal to pass on. our sister has a yellow 370z as well. it could've been 3 in the family, but 2 Z's is good enough lol.

Sterling Gray FTW. That's pretty cool that your bro & sis both have 370s. :icon17:

There definitely seems to be a love / hate relationship on here with the new Mustang. I've read several reviews on the car though and have yet to read one that is even marginally bad, pretty much all of them say that it is the best car out there for the money right now. I may just have to test drive one to see what all the fuss is about.

You should come to our VA/MD Z meets!

Make sure you can afford it before you test drive it!

:iagree: or else you'll end up Wishing__Wanting one. :icon17:

Steve, come on! The car is Gray. There is no need to fancy it up with "Sterling". You would never catch Nissan making up fancy names for basic colors like silver or gray. :shakes head:
:icon17:

... but my silver is Brilliant Silver, not just a regular silver... :confused:

Isn't Brilliant Silver a metallic paint?

Couldn't agree more.....

I must add American cars suck.
Leave the 5.0 to mr. Vanilla ice

The Mustang is a major step down in quality of engineering, driver engagement, and exclusivity. But some people don't care about that, and some people love Mustangs. If cars were a rational choice, we'd all be driving KIAs. Buy what you want, and who cares what anyone else thinks.

I never refer to my car as gray, only Platinum Graphite! :icon17:

My car isn't "snot bubble brown", it's black cherry! :roflpuke2:

You should totally trade your 370Z for the new Mustang. Then you can go on the Mustang forums and make threads titled, "hey guys, I just got a new Mustang but I'm thinking about trading it for some [insert new car here], what do you guys think?"

Additionally, the $40/month savings would be tremendous. You could now afford to send your kids to college.

:icon18:

Exclusivity? Rarity compared to the Mustang, yes, but exclusivity? It takes a lot of nerve to say the 370 is an "exclusive" car with a straight face.

I take it you've already received your invitation for the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance! :bowrofl:

I won't even bother with the rest. I'll just let you get back to enjoying your exclusive automobile! I don't make enough money to spend $30k on such an exclusive car... I can only dream. :rolleyes:

I see a lot of Beemers around, and I'm pretty sure many of those people bought the car for the status thing. I see a fair number of Mustangs around, and fewer GT/5.0's. I pretty sure they did NOT buy the car because the neighbors had one. I think they bought them because they are car people, and like the sensation of their heads snapping back when they hit the gas.

OK, back to the fancy names for gray paint debate! :-)

We should just use the HTML color codes.

Hey everyone, I just bought a new #4E4848 Metallic 370!

:icon18::bowrofl::icon17:

"Help me choose: #0000A0 or #FFFFFF?"

Dark Blue would look smashing on a 5.0! Not the #FFFFFF
