Let me restate my experience for you. Technically I had NO issues with my Z transmission. I loved my car SO much that I thought the grittiness, rattliness, and tinniness of our trannies (and this is common to almost ALL Z's... there's even threads of how people responded to several posts saying NORMAL, SOUNDS LIKE LOOSE MARBLES, NORMAL, etc etc etc) were all a part of everyday life with the Z. So I lived with it.

What rubbed me the wrong way was, my other cars were not like that. Not my G, not my Acura, etc etc. I just stuck with the thought that hey, my Z is just being normal... it's a "Z-thing" or whatever.

Fast forward, Test drove the 5.0. Eyes opened. Jaw dropped. Tranny not at ALL like Z (amongst many other things). So, if it turns out you like your Z and transmission, good for you! I just know I wanted the 5.0 and along with it, the benefits of much better transmission.

ppl act like the Stang's sh*t don't stink. All cars have problems, issues. I'm glad you're happy with your Stangs, but I tire of the Z nitpicking that goes on with the condescending 5.0wners on this site. I'm happy with my Z. I knew what I was getting going in, and it's a fantastic car. I didn't have to trade up when something faster came along.

No one forces you to read the thread.

But more to the point, we are only responding (accurately) to sh!t stirring posts left by the trolls. You could have a talk with them about fixing that issue.

No one is talking smack about the z. It has issues like every car (mustang included). We just aren't looking through a rose colored glass.

I read what I want to read, and if you hated the Z so much for this reason or that, you don't have to stick around on a Z site. You are posting with rose colored glasses about your vehicle. You're passionate about your car, I am about mine.

The constant digs on the Z are usually over unimportant sh*t or issues that have been addressed or things that only effect people tracking the car. To hear you guys tell it, the Z is basically the worst production vehicle in the world.

Wonky trans= worlds worst vehicle. Yeah, I see your logic.

You've been picking fights with everyone lately. Starting **** with billet, and in the rc threads. Maybe time to cool down.

Correction:

The way I wrongfully interpret your comments makes me think the Z is the worst production vehicle in the world.

Shado... you need to calm down bro. When did I ever state the Z was a $hitty car? When? Like every car, it has issues yes... but I LOVED my Z. I moved on not BECAUSE of the tranny or whatever else. I moved on because I NEEDED A BACK SEAT FOR MY SON (and my soon to be 2nd child). The fact that the 5.0 has (IMO) a better tranny than the Z, is a BONUS. Do I feel the 5.0 is a BETTER car than the Z? In some respects, yes. In some respects, no (for example, looks... Z is better IMO). But no, I didn't trade up because I needed a faster car. And even if I DID, so what? Why is that a bad thing?

I don't get your rant. You love your car, and it's perfect for you, great. But just know that it's not perfect for EVERYbody, and we're free to express our opinions.

NONE of us, (Dan, Steve, etc) EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER stated this. Please don't put words in our mouths. In fact, we give credit when credit is due. I loved my Z for when I owned it. But for now, I feel the 5.0 suits my liking more. You interpret things WAY out of proportion bro. Calm down.

Plus, there are ways of dealing with trolls without piling on the Zed. It's just much easier to be smug d1cks about the car you see as so superior.

m4a1mustang · 10-27-2011, 10:56 AM

Shado, if you don't have thick skin get out of the thread. You like to stir things up from time to time... so you need to learn how to take it in stride when someone doesn't exactly say something you like.

And like Dan said, all we do is reply to trollish comments. We don't **** talk the Z or act like our sh1t doesn't stink.

yeah, ya kinda do
