I cant help it

5.0 V8

badass mustang

delicious stock sound

it is just...so delicious

don't forget for us belgians a mustang is damn exotic and rare

flashburn 09-08-2010 03:59 PM

I don't blame you at all Vegitto. I'd be more interested in a Mustang if the V6 variant (or even the V8 really) wasn't such a dime a dozen car around here. I still like the styling of the 370Z way more, but I totally respect the performance of the Mustang 5.0.

That doesn't excuse it. European sports cars are more common and less expensive for you. If anything, this makes it worse. :bowrofl:

jk V-k. It's completely understandable.

I went with the Steeda skip shif/Cai tune...Bought the whole package right from them and it's good...Great support and performance. The only idle issue is a Mustang thing, not a tune issue. A little variance in idle speed and only when the AC is on. There's apparently a TSB on it, but honestly, it's a minor issue....One I don't intend to pursue it's so minor..

I kinda have to agree with you a bit. The 370 is MUCH more distinctive and rare, but I'm way beyond worrying about what other people think. The only person I need to impress is me!

In that same vain, that's why I don't care about how much faster the stang is than my Z. The performance I get is already awesome for what I spent.

True that...I lked everything about my Z...

Errr, except:

The visiblilty
The rough motor
The cramped cockpit

have you noticed that though? just sitting there at idle, the car kinda torques ever so slightly, as though it cant sit perfectly still? I'm hoping im not the only one that happens to!

m4a1mustang 09-08-2010 04:09 PM

On my 900 mile drive out to St. Louis I saw NO 370s or 5.0s. On my way home I saw two 370s and one other 5.0.

In Nova the Z is a popular car. There are more 350s than Mustang GTs and right now I see more 370s than I do 5.0s (though I know that will change).

Vegitto-kun 09-08-2010 04:09 PM

I wonder how quickly I would crash a stang, The Z is the most powerfull car I have driven, ok I have driven the GT-R twice but those were short distances.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not THAT vain, but I don't think simply looking at my Mustang would put quite the grin on my face that my 370Z does almost every day I'm walking to it after a long days work. Then again hearing that V8 roar would give me a bigger grin than the VQ engine does, for sure.

Yeah, but how many V6 Mustangs did you see? I can't go a single day to/from work without seeing at least 5-10 of the newer models, mostly V6, but I can't tell the difference unless I'm looking close.

The visibility takes some getting used to, but I'm ok with compromise there. The motor is rough, and that's one of the niggling annoyances for me, too. But as far as the cockpit goes, I don't find it at all cramped. If anything, I enjoyed its shoulder room. Everything's relative, though. I grew up with roadsters. I even considered a Miata or GTI when shopping, both of which were far more restrictive. When comparing to a stang or camaro, it may be cramped, but I didn't like how big the Americans felt.

Again, it's all personal preferences.

I see a bunch but the difference is very easy to tell for me. I can spot the difference between a GT and V6 from a mile away.

flashburn 09-08-2010 04:14 PM

Big and Bloated, the American way! :)

but that is what makes them so ******* desirable.

yes that is the biggest problem, the red devils started sucking so much that all our good players go to other teams instead of joining the devils
