Thinkin about getting a Z

mhcoss · 02-23-2012, 09:32 PM

Hey guys I am in love with this car. I've been dreaming about it lately lol. I am most likely going to buy a 2012 soon. The mustang gt 5.0 is tempting though with its 400 hp engine. What do you guys think?

I like the z interior more, and I hate back seats. The mustang does have a killer engine, though. Depends on what matters to you.

Dooooo it!

Well its not all about straight line speed for me. Mustang doesn't handle as well does it? I dunno I am 25 years old and single I feel like now is the only time in my life a car like this will make sense. If I wait ten years i may have wife/kids and sh@@# like that. I've never had a two seater and the practicality of it scares me away. I also live in a snowy/cold climate. Basically this car makes zero sense practicality wise but if your looking for sheer joy of driving it makes total sense.

I was torn between a Mustang and a Z as well but ended up with a Z. I am loving it so far.

I just got mine on Monday.

I initially bought a Z, but after the dealer attempted to scam me I returned the car and ended up with a Mustang GT. I gotta say I'm really glad the way it turned out, because I'm enjoying the GT much more than the Z. The Z is still breathtaking from an external standpoint, and I always stop and stare when I see one drive by, but the Mustang fits every other category that really mattered to me most.

Performance, comfort, style, size, options, storage, occupants, noise, etc. Now I didnt just get any GT mind you, but rather a factory ordered black California Special.

Ultimately, I just like the fact that the stang is bigger than the Z, which is more useful for me in a variety of situations. I dont think I could ever go back to the Z after experiencing the GT.

I like that the 370 isn't on every street corner, nor is there a fast or slow version.

mhcoss · 02-23-2012, 11:25 PM

Yeah honestly the only thing that allures me about the mustang is the 400 hp engine. But when you think about it 330 hp in a little tiny two seater is pretty plenty anyways. I'm a fairly avid out doors man though so i am a little worried about not being able to go skiing and stuff
