Never thought ford would make the mustang this amazing of a car. but tis ford...so if i wait one more model year...and then one more model year...

cant they be like toyota or honda and not change a car for ten years?

When the dark side gets a hold of you, it gets a hold of you, doesn't it?

Good thing for you is, looks like you don't have EITHER a Z or a 5.0 yet, and now can decide fully which one you like and will get. I had a Z for a year or so (like other folks here, like RedZed and m4a1), but then test drove a 5.0 and fell in love with it.... Let us know what you decide! Can't go wrong with either

Did you use to have a Z too, baldie? I did not know.

Amen. Steve, you know what happened to me right? I test drove a used 2012 with no brembos, and already fell in love with that one, and almost bought that off the lot, remember? Then asked you guys if BBK was worth it... So technically, I haven't even DRIVEN a BBK car, but ordered it that way anyways. I have no doubt it will even be better.

Oh wow, I didn't realize you actually haven't driven one yet. They are very nice.

If we use the Z as a base line, the standard GT has more body roll than the Sport package Z and the Brembo package cars have less. It's a stiffer car than standard but much sportier in the handling department. And the brakes are very nice.

You know, you're not the only one that has said that the BBK 5.0 actually has less body roll than the sport pkg Z. Some Z owners don't believe it lol. I'll know for sure when I get my car, but from testing the base 5.0 and how impressed I was already, I have no doubt the bbk 5.0 will be far better. p.s. those bbk rims are just s*xy.

Yeah Definately will let you guys know. If you'd talked to me in the 90s or the early 00s i would have said something along the lines of never owning an american car. Yet hear I am. Cross shopping one.

No I don't have one, I was looking at all my options and ended up getting the 5.0. My brother has a 40th and my sister has a yellow 370z.
