Walk into the dealership and tell them you're there to pick up your Corvette. When they look at you all confused and ask to see your sale documents, present them with your 1040. "Paid in full." :icon18:

I'd rather have the new Camaro over the Mustang. It's a shame they don't offer Nav and the z28 isn't out yet. The interior is pretty bad though.

Oh, another Mustang thread :ugh2:

I think the new GT looks are improved, but I wish it looked more like the prototype did when it first came out.

Well, front engine was enough compromise for me, four seats would be going too far!

Comparing C&D :D specs for my favorite 370Z & the GT, they don't seem that far off:
Code:

                                Mustang              370Z       
Zero to 60 mph:                    4.6 sec              4.6 sec       
Zero to 100 mph:                  11.0 sec              11.3 sec       
Zero to 130 mph:                  19.8 sec              21.1 sec       
Street start, 5–60 mph:            5.1 sec              5.1 sec       
Standing ¼-mile:                  13.2 sec @ 109 mph    13.1 sec @ 108 mph       
Top speed (governor limited):    146 mph              156 mph       
Braking, 70–0 mph:                153 ft                161 ft       
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad:  0.94 g                0.91 g

Though Roadholding and Braking for the 370Z seems a little sad.

Rag tests are worthless.

Honestly, Dreamer really said it best: get whatever makes you happy and don't worry about anything else. :D

wilsonp 10-25-2010 06:00 PM

First you have to be able to afford what makes you happy ;)

Haha, not in America you don't!!! :icon18:

I want a Z 10-25-2010 06:13 PM

I am still shopping and for a while considered the 5.0 but every time I sit in a Z and take it for a test drive it makes me smile, so now I am just waiting for the 11's to show

shabarivas 10-25-2010 06:32 PM

11s are already around....

I will say this: It does not matter how much slower the stang is in the corners - after 2 straights the Z will be behind. With that said - would i trade my Z for a stang? Hell no - would I get a stang along with the Z? Of course I would if I had the spare cash. For what it is the new GT is an amazing bargain. Remember speed without finesse is just speed... and is not driving :)

Driving happens when you and the car work together to fight the road and what it might throw at you. Worrying about how fast you are compared to the next guy lining up near you at the light is all well and good - but that gets old real fast. Controlling your rear end out of a tight corner - will always feel like a million dollars in a real drivers car.

the 0-60 on that mustang looks a bit slow, should be more of the low 4 second range

It's a good thing the Mustang powers like hell out of a corner.

I tell you what, there's absolutely nothing about the Z's handling that I miss with the Mustang. The only things I really miss are the knee pads (don't take these for granted, Z guys!), gas gauge (yes, I liked the dots!), and the fuel economy. :icon17:
