This is actually one of the reasons I won't own one.

The old style gauges are what deter me from looking at it seriously.

I'm sure the new BOSS 302 will be a COMPLETELY different animal and probably put the Z to shame, but even though we lack almost 100hp to the GT the Z is still awesome in it's own right.

The GT doesn't match the feel of the Z in any respect... it's not a sports car, plain and simple. If you want the sports car feel... Z all the way. If you want muscle with lots of room to improve... GT for sure.

My problem is I want them both and at this time I can't have them both... and as diehard a Ford guy I am I don't know if I'm willing to part with the Z so I can get into the GT.

But damn I hate the VQ... I want more power.

I guess it's up to you to make the final decision but I think you'll have (if not already) more fun in the Z. I don't know how often your track or do performance driving, but more power isn't always more fun. Of course, you will make the final decision.

However, I will NOT mind driving this car, though I will never trade the Z for it. Once the Z is paid off

. I have been craving for a low end tq monster! (540 HP/510 ft/lbs tq)

or black.
