mustang

It really depends on what you want... The Z is a sporty 2-seat coupe, the 335 is a luxury coupe, the Evo is an AWD sedan, and the Mustang, well, it will put down some impressive lap times but at its roots it is essentially a GT coupe built for straight line speed- or at least that's what most people do with it, and that's what it seems to feel the most comfortable doing.

I haven't driven a current-gen Evo or 335 but between the Mustang and the Z I have driven both fairly extensively and the Z wins for me.

You have vastly different cars in that list. 4 doors and power ratings are where similarities end. Fit/finish luxury, dynamics dealer experience all are *vastly* different.

You need to tell us what the top priorities are and focus in that direction. Each vehicle has its merits and demerits :)

Recently went looking for fun coupes for the wife and cross shopped G37/A5 etc...and you know what we ended up with? CPO base Cayman.

It was less expensive then some of the used/CPO ones we were looking at, though also more spartan in appointment. She's happy as it isn't about the power but the feel of the car, and that car just communicates with you.

So for her/us, giving up the posh luxury of a 335 coupe was worth it for the mid-engine flat 6 wail behind your ears.

Still keeping the 2010 Z...our dogs fit just fine in 2 seaters :D

im leaning towards modyifing my car , when i want to hit the track i can take the car , something thats fast and reliable and that i can even make it faster , not really all about the luxury more of the performance type and the best bang for my buck

If the Z is not fast enough for you, that's just how it is (unless you go FI). But throw the Z around some turns at speed and then go drive a Mustang. Of the four you listed, IMO the Z will give you the best track experience. Just my :twocents:

I strongly considered a 2012 or 2013 5.0 Mustang congruently with the Z. I even test drove a used 2012 automatic for a weekend. Loved it, the torque is extremely intoxicating and I love V8's, especially 32V. I think mildly lowered and a good exhaust system on the stang and it would be all that much sweeter. Handled well too for a bigger car. Just couldn't work a good deal on the stang and it came down to timing with the Z. I was considering a WRX Sti but I don't think they thought I was a serious buyer. Kind of got that, "You're not worthy of our precious Subaru" or you're here just to tire kick and be a test pilot only. They did not offer me any test drives on the WRX so that turned me off in a way. A two seater is not an issue with me since the wife has a three row Traverse for our small family and I have a Mazda daily driver. I know there are plenty of Mustangs cruising around but I'd go with the Z or Mustang. It's really hard to get used to the short first gear of the Z having come from my ZX-10R that would pull 100 mi/hr in first gear LOL.

I came from a 4 seater - 2008 Subaru Legacy GT. Don't miss it, but then again, I have a suburban to haul people/things when I need to.

dude get a Boss302 you wont regret it, if not the 2013 Stang is legit.

Best Forum name I've seen in awhile lol :tup:

For the OP. I had no issues going to a 2 seater from my 4 door Lancer Ralliart.

Coming from an M3, I don't think you'll get the same "off the line" jolt but this car is a blast to drive and as mentioned, based on your list....more rare, fun to toss around and I think the Z will be more reliable.

Its funny, just today someone stopped me at a light while I was driving my wife's 328 and asked "how is it, giving you lots of problems??" lol.

Z

yeah i want to test drive the mustang today , i will be doing but i just feel like the z has sooo manyyy curvess and just looks way better MHO i will need to go test drive another z because i need to drive it a bit harder to seee the straight line speed an accelration actually because first time i was just cruising because cops were everywhere :owned:

It's not really that hard to figure out the orders of those *numbers*.

370 > 335 > 10(X) > 5.0;)

Yeah, but the scoring works like golf :p

Oh no!:gtfo2::icon17:

+1........ :iagree: The Boss 302 with the back seat deleted option is pretty sweet looking & fully loaded will run you around $49k~.
