great color, sterling grey was my first choice, but, can't go wrong with black except keeping up maintenance. enjoy man, yea 3.73 is good, the way the people on the boards made it out to sound like first was non existant, but its fine, except the skipshift, that i get from time to time, but the ecu flash or tune, will take care of that.

i don't understand this trade. the z has the better handling, more advanced suspension, better interior, and the more exclusive more exotic look to it, compared to the dime a dozen mustang. the z is more reliable than the mustang. the z also holds its value better than the mustang in terms of depreciation. the mustang has the more powerful engine and straight line acceleration, but how much money did you lose on the trade in and the price of the new car? you could have bought a supercharger for the z which would make the z match or exceed the straight line acceleration of the mustang, which i believe is the only reason why anyone would trade a z for a mustang.

You are set in your ways, so I will just leave you to wonder. No point in trying to explain my reasoning to you. All that matters is I'm happy.

I got what I wanted out of the Z and now I'm enjoying this one. So let's just all be happy because we're all happy, right?

Even having the Z, you was or were a Mustang fanatic. So you got what u wanted, screw everyone else. I'm still going to give you $hit, especially on Zday!

Are you as annoying in real life as you are here? Jesus, we all have different tastes, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. For me a Mustang would be much more practical day to day for hauling groceries, friends and family etc. All for the same or better performance and gas mileage as the Z. There are some superficial and aesthetic things I don't like about this current model, or I too would own one. Just be happy for the guy who has been a valuable member here. It's not like he traded the Z in for a 4 cylinder Camry!

glad i'm not his friend or your family, so he won't shove me in that cramped rear seat of the mustang

well, congrats to him. hope he enjoys his new toy. btw, don't be surprised if people traded the z for camrys. many times people grow up, get married, have kids, and if they can't afford to have 2 cars, they trade the sports car for a sedan or van. why do you think i bought the z so quickly soon after graduation while i'm still single?

Well it beats walking! I'm glad you realize that you are lucky to have a car most people envy and could never afford. Go take a look at a new Mustang with an open mind and you might actually find some things to like.

on reason

Its a ******* bigass mustang.

The looks alone make me want to get it.

that huge *** engine.

that mustang just reeks of win and badass.

but my opinion mostly hs to do with them not being sold here and them being ALOT more exclusive than the Z.
