nah I went the other way. If you want to go through your douchebag-ricer sensitive-street-torretto-tuna-muscle-loud-obnoxious-street racer phase, get the mustang. (i'm generalizing of course, but around here, thats what mustang

nah I went the other way. If you want to go through your douchebag-ricer sensitive-street-torretto-tuna-muscle-loud-obnoxious-street racer phase, get the mustang. (i'm generalizing of course, but around here, thats what mustang drivers are...) I agree with the handling statement. fast and quick are 2 very different things, and the 370 is the latter because of how deceptively smooth it is. It cant really be explained but driving this after driving the mustang I would never go back, this car is really more refined. Not to prattle on but you will want the Z after trying it, it like comparing a DONZI to an outrigger. Trust...

The same thing that "I" (personal preferance) feel is wrong with all of the mustangs, the idea that there is no replacement for displacement. I guess thats the american way, big, heavy, and powerful. Dont get me wrong, I loved both of the mustangs (torque and gear ratios are perfect) and it flies like a rocket. but rockets can only go so far in a straight line until you need to turn. '11 has made huge jumps up from the 06 in terms of supspension, but its still very long and very nose heavy. every time I cornered I felt like my *** was gonna tail out behind me, and in alot of cases it did, with me in a ditch in one incident. though partly my bad driving
). A boxer will never be able to beat a Jeet-kun do practitione, just wont happen. In the same way, the Z is less about raw power and more about speed, agility, and finesse. Like Ive said before, this car is incredibly smooth, and that is what leads to its immense speed. For the price there is really not much that can stand up to it. I like that alot eventually it stops being about straight lines and starts being about the whole picture. just my 2ct.

Like I said, its about the whole picture. If its all about racing for you, the mustang may be the way to go, much more forgiving in most race scenarios. However, If you want to be faster, get the Z.

[QUOTE=Spikuh;1759616]The Z has a more limited aftermarket than a lot of vehicles, so remember that if you are intending to go big into modding. Unless you go straight to FI of course.[QUOTE]
I plan to drive it till it dies
