I had a 350z and traded in on a 2012 ford f150 with the coyote 5.0. Although impressed with the 365 stock hp, I soon realized that I was riding a couch. The Fords are nice trucks but down here in Texas they are a dime a dozen and the blah factor set in while driving it. In other words, I was nodding off while driving home from work or any other trip longer than 30 minutes. I put 5k on the truck and traded it in on my 370z and couldnt be happier. I guess I'm opposite of the OP but from a performance perspective from a F250 weighing in over 8k with 500 plus ponies still sounds boring and then comparing that to the Z?

Come on get real

500hp is possibly boring. 1100ftlbs is not. Fact.

That's a lot of torque, but not my idea of fun. But I'm not a pickup guy. To each his own.

And wow....this thread is full of fail....
