:iagree: Nothing wrong trying to get additional information before a purchase. Good luck to you :tiphat:

Zen, my 2001 Mustang GT vert with 194k miles (191k put on by my Mom) is all original minus the craptastic intake manifold and the new gears I just installed (went from 3.27 to 3.83!). If you do run into issues or need some mechanical assistance, there is a great shop in TR that only works on mustangs. Furthermore there is a great Mustang club in Greenville that is very helpful, one of which works at a ford dealer locally. The sound of a Mustang is awesome (even though it represents an inefficient design) and I love it when I have the opportunity to listen to them at every stop light. I heard one today with an aftermarket exhaust that sounded awesome!

Now while I love my Mustang, I have it b/c I didn't pay to get it, the wife likes it and it's a convertible. I love the Z for its handling characteristics and ability to whip it around but in the end the Mustang may win, all b/c it's a V8 and it just sounds better than any V6. Besides, if I want speed I have my motorcycle for that.

You would have more room in the Mustang for the wife and kid but let's be honest, you already took care of that with that other little purchase.

Trade it in for a flying time machine Delorean

do it OP, trade it...!!!

You prob should IMO. High miles on the Z, too many issues. Though the Mustang isnt exclusive, I see literally, MINIMUM 10 Stangs for every Z, the 5.0 is a HELL of a brute and will be fun. Obviously you have a budget (like all of us), Id say go for an M3, etc but other than a Dodge (blah), SS, the mustang is really the ONLY option for that power/price point.

I've toyed the idea of trading for a C63 AMG Coupe. :wtf2:

Or a CLK63 AMG :drool:, if I can get it down to my price range - but that's doubtful on this one. :(

Unless you have real deep pockets I wouldnt, the maintenance would be a killer.

Wait don't you mean you make sooooooo much money, getting a gazillion dollar raise, only 22 and are deciding between that or a GTR?! :rolleyes:


:icon17: :p

I wish all of those things! (esp. gaining seven years back! :icon17:).

A C63 would be :yum:!

There are so many new sports car concepts coming out, I think you should keep your Z until a brand new car comes out.

This is the last brand new car I'll buy. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I could have gotten so much more for my money I think.


Unless I come into a lot of money... then I'll reconsider new. ;)

I don't trust a guy with Flowmasters on his 5.0 Mustang. I mean, maybe if he's a broke high school student.

If you trade for that Mustang, put a Borla Atak exhaust on it. That's the way a muscle car is supposed to sound.

Haha good point. Flowmasters suck. :tup:
