The z is amazing and I've never been a mustang fan but the 5.0 is growing on me big time....

enkei2k · 03-21-2012, 08:45 PM

It was either the Z or the WRX STi. They wouldn't let me test drive the STi, so it was the Z for me lol.

kenchan · 03-21-2012, 08:49 PM

S4000

Pauly · 03-21-2012, 08:49 PM

none. the Z is something i've always wanted. i didnt wake up one morning and decide to get a new car. i saw the Z for the first time 21 years ago, and have been obsessed with it ever since. increasingly so with every generation Z to emerge.

Aizen Sosuke · 03-22-2012, 08:27 AM

In this order I guess
2011 Audi A5
2011 Subaru WRX
BMW 335i coupe
used Cayman S
5.0 mustang
Genesis coupe
S2000
The Z provided a great blend of all those.

This

I was looking for a NISMO 350Z at the time and found the NSIMO 370Z. I would have gone for a Maxima 4DSC or a G37 Sport Sedan as well.

Very briefly considered a genesis coupe 3.8 until I sat in it and walked around it up close at a dealership. I quickly realized the Gen was a settling car for me and I was out to get the car I really loved, not to settle. I briefly thought about a G but realized it didn't wow me either and they're EVERYWHERE in southern California.

brucelidat · 03-21-2012, 08:59 PM

If I was looking now, I might test drive a 5.0 just to see, but it suffers from being on every corner just like the G so I would still get a Z.

Drex · 03-21-2012, 09:31 PM

mustang gt, camaro ss, genesis coupe, g37/g35, 335i, 350z

basically anything with rwd, 300+ hp, coupe, ~$30k

Zoren 370 · 03-21-2012, 09:44 PM

To be honest I am always a big fan of BMW's //M badges been looking to get a Z4 M or a 2003 e34 //M. I believe the BMW is a better driver but the Z.... It's just wanna make you say UUU...UuuuMMMM! Sweet!

Ackrite · 03-21-2012, 10:15 PM

Lexus IS350, but the one I was going to take a good look at was about to be taken on a test-drive by somebody else. Also the fact that the same body style has been out since I believe '06 and they are about due for a redesign. I didn't want to have a brand new old model. And, as Bruce said, I would have settled for that instead of getting something truly unique and less seen on the streets even in SoCal.
