What other car would you have considered?

Mannysrt8 · 03-21-2012, 08:01 PM

Would be interested to know what other car you looked at when making the purchase on the Z..

Nikkolai · 03-21-2012, 08:03 PM

I will save everyone the trouble...Mustang 5.0. Oh wait, you said before purchasing the Z. To answer your question, a GT-R. Then, I realized there is a big difference between being able to purchase one and being able to afford one.

Porsche 911 and BMW M3.

gomer_110 · 03-21-2012, 08:20 PM

used 911 or used NSX.

sc55509 · 03-21-2012, 08:22 PM

Im with the latter, looked at buying a used cayman and a 5.0 but was tired of owning a mustang.

MJB · 03-21-2012, 08:22 PM

96-02 Viper GTS, C6 Z06, looked at a couple Ford Raptors.

Nismo89 · 03-21-2012, 08:28 PM

no other car.. my reason? was cuz i thought my insurance was gonna sky rocket with me and the Z and being 21 years old. but on the contrary they asked if it had a turbo.. i said no, they said "well then its not considered a sports car to us" so my insurance a year for my Z is $877 (after they dropped it 300 bucks)

any other sports car i would be looking at woud have my insurance jacked up regardless... with the Z tho? it was destiny so NO!

however i do Admire: The GT-R, NSX, any Ferrari, any Lambo, Porsche, and of course....the Vette. have to include that

mantella87 · 03-21-2012, 08:33 PM

3.8 Gen Coupe, Evo, STI.

sonic370 · 03-21-2012, 08:33 PM

None

864Zbeast · 03-21-2012, 08:44 PM

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.
