I moved on and tested the 5.0 and 335is - the 335is is a beast. Great performance numbers (0-60 4.7 sec) and the exhaust note is heaven, it's what the stock Z should sound like.
It gets pricey with options, and reliability could be sketchy, but it's a really nice fun and comfortable car!

So its as fast as a 370 but thousands more.

yes - but due to past back operations I need to buy something that I can actually be comfortable in when driving, and the Z just beat me up too bad.

I still love the car and wish it was for me, but that's life...

Thanks for all the advice so far guys. I went back and test drove both cars again and I thin I'm gonna go with the 335is. I love the V8 in the Mustang, but the fit and finish just isn't there and I'm not sure that I will be able to live with the overly plastic interior on a daily basis. The 335is is the polar opposite in that respect, fit and finish is top notch and it feels much more refined. And honestly, if I didn't know better, I would say that it is just as fast, as it really performs amazingly.
