(yes i named my car after Optimus Primes right hand man, want to fight about it? haha :) )

I was going to say you must regret getting the Shelby last year with the new beast that has emerged, but apparently you've traded up.

Those things are nuts! Have fun in it and be safe.

The z is a true sports car. I tried sitting on a mustang gt that is and it feels like sitting on a performance sedan but as soon as i sat on the the Z there is no looking back. Plus the thing i don't like about stang is that they have the cheaper v6 model which makes the car so common , you can almost see it in every stop light while the 370z is exactly the opposite of that. I'm not driving an exotic car but it sure feels like it.

Did you get extra track pack? I thought there were a few options to pick from, but is that available on the convertible? curious if you will get chassis flexing on the beast with that much HP and no roof when you light it up. If I were to get one, I would go for the school bus yellow Boss, or wait till 2014 when the all new one comes out with a honest independent rear suspension.

It's amazing what Ford has done with the SRA. But the Z and Mustang are 2 different cars. The Z is more nimble on the twisty back roads, whereas the Stang is brute power for straight line acceleration.

Enjoy your new ride though! Congrats!

i dont care if you drive a Z or a pinto. when you get a reaction like that from someone, you get a boost. despite age. The Z is just awesome. just.... just.... awesome...:happydance:

this is the exact way i feel as i walk towards the Z no matter where im at and despite the few 2.0 Turbo red Genesis guys that fly out of nowhere into (nearly) my bumper.... i get head nods, classic Z stories and big thumbs up

I was all set to get a second 370 for a daily driver, but after test driving the 5.0, I found it was way more comfy than the Z. If I had to choose one or the other, I would probably pick the Z, but fortunately, I can have both.
