Z is much more of a sexy look, the 5.0 is more of an "i'm going to eat your kids for breakfast" kind of look. Mean as ****.





Taken anyone for rides yet? That's usually when the haters are like... "wait a minute... this is actually pretty f*cking awesome!"
yeah, most of the hating was good-natured. the only guy that had a stick up his *** about things changed his tune pretty quickly after a ride...he's texted me from the ford dealer today


I do think the stang looks good, just not on the level of the Z.
The wheel gap literally causes my retina to bleed...


And yes, from the driver's seat, the Mustang feels like an overpowered version of what I thought the Z would be.

Well then drop it already! I hear the Steeda Ultralite springs calling your name...

You know how it is up here in NOVA, so I'm keeping mine at stock height 'til they finish all this construction... in 2014.

Honestly I would, but my work parking lot is ****. I lost the air dams for my Z pretty quickly going in and out. Not looking to do that again. Though I may measure it out and see what I can do....the mustang doesn't sit as low from the factory, and my Z was down over 50mm at the end.
