Good luck! The Mustang does have more space and is easier to get into and out of, and it IS quieter, as for ride, I am on a stock suspension and I love it, and yeah, the Z is really noisy... But the 5.0 to me felt like a really big dumb horse, felt like a Crown Vic...

In any case, you can still visit us! We don't bite

I'm sorry for your loss. Playing Monday morning quarterback at this point which I hate to do but am doing it for anyone who might be struggling with the same decision. Some sound deadening and suspension work would have probably cured what ailed you. Hopefully you will love your new car as much. Good luck man!

Old comparison with the 4.6L Mustang..

Sorry to see another go the way of the Mustang. I am glad you got what you wanted and yes the Z ride is stiff. I just like to say it rides as well as other cars costing many times more such as a Ferrari. :tiphat:

Farewell Bob

Enjoy your new Mustang!

Pics of the new ride?

Sorry to hear about letting go of your Z.
The Z is really not the best DD car out there.. it hates to be driven slow specially through traffic and when it gets heat up the exhaust becomes too loud and harsh/tiring to drive to much power.

But in a freeway you just don't want to stop driving until you almost suck up that tank dry.
I still drive my Z early morning wasting gas just to satisfy my craving for spirited driving. Again gas is cheaper than Depression pills.

Im sure your gonna love your Mustang too...give it some time.:tup:

Don't forget to write us back!!!

Bummer... too bad you couldn't find a way to get yourself a DD and keep the Z too.

There's nothing wrong with the Mustang. Some of them are pretty sweet. They're just far too common for me though. That's part of the reason I dumped my 350z. You can barely throw a key fob without hitting one, then bouncing off of that one and hitting another one on the way down.

whats the price difference on a gt and a 5.0, also how much faster is the 5.0

I can't hate on anyone who makes the switch to the Mustang anymore...V-6 or 5.0. That car has improved a ton with the new engines and is a very good overall value with either version. Good luck to you!

The 5.0 is the GT



not sure if serious

No replies from him since his OP. I think he's gone. :shakes head:

I love this one.

I personally didn't feel the stock suspension as hard. Sports car stiff but not harsh. But what's important in the end is your happiness. Tanabe makes GT coilovers that would have softened the ride. Sound deadening would at least reduce some noise. Also, switching to continental DWS tires would have cut road noise.
The 5.0 is a serious performer and should be fun. I wish you the best and maybe the Z35 will sway you back in a couple of years??? Be safe.

Onto the Mustang forums.
