I see tons of Stangs. Its not that I see tons of 5.0s though but I def see enough. I rarely see 370s. Plenty of 350s. Stangs appeal to rednecks/nascar fans and the meat heads in NJ and trust me we have no short supply of either. To be fair I think the majority of Zs I see are driven by rich dudes wives. I guess when you look at it that way Id rather be a hick than a rich dudes wife

No need to go derogatory bro. Not cool. We're all car guys here and it's about respect. How would Z owners feel if folks started chirping about how Z's/imports only appear to some Asian/rice stereo type? It offends/offended me a whole lot when folks called me a ricer, etc when I obviously was not. There may be Stang drivers/owners that will take offense to what you say. A car is a car is a car. If you don't like it fine. I'm Asian and have been an import lover all my life, but I have learned to respect all cars, domestic or not. The Z is a GREAT car. I know because I owned it. But there are plenty of OTHER great cars out there.

some people are just close-minded. I know I was for a long time. I just look past it.

Agreed. I'm a NASCAR fan, gun owner, and Mustang driver but I am FAR from a redneck or hick. Nor was I some japophile when I drove my Z.

I see a few 370Zs on base but off base very rarely. Mustang 2010 -2011, all over the place.

I see a lot of 370s here. When I had mine I lived in an apt complex that had several. There are a couple here in my gfs apartment complex. 350s are all over the place here. Can't go a day without seeing 20+.

Of course the Porsche 911 and BMW 3 series are far more popular here than any Z or Mustang. I for one couldn't care less about rarity...

Heh I may have missed a bunch of this thread, but are there any Boss 302 owners here? I think I saw a red one the other day.
