Wait until Spring when they have an automatic + Brembo package that you can drive.

That's what I'm gonna do. I have seriously been thinking about trading/selling the Z next fall once I start working. I've been thinking about either a 5.0 or an Evo X. Only problem is that I know I will end up losing money doing it and I'd rather use that money on the house or save it for my next car (GT-R).

Trading a car on a loss is always a bad decision financially, but you only live once. It's really up to you whether the change in vehicle is worth it.

Really selling any car that still works is a bad financial decision, but you're right. You only live once... do what you want.

:iagree:

I'm trying to get 200k mi out of my 6, but the trade-in bug is biting me all over my nono bits. :bowrofl:

That's pretty much why I bought my Z in the first place. The only thing making my decision difficult is that if I keep the Z, it would be a lot easier for me to get a GT-R like 2-3 yrs later.

Blades, didn't know you were interested in a 5.0 too. You and Lemers should look at the 2013 Shelby... specs are out now. 650hp. End of story.

Btw, my 5.0 arrived yesterday, and drove it today already. Best car decision I made to date.

Steve, Dan, see my thread in "other" forum for pics... feel free to respond! Here's a teaser pic :D

Congrats, man. I love Kona blue. Great color. It's the one Ford color I wish was available on the 370. :tup:

thanks Steve. You were right though... Brembo package is wayyyyyy diff't from the stock one I tested last time. And the 3.73 gears??? OMG. And the Sync.... it ROCKS.

Modding will happen sooooooon.....

Man kona looks awesome

I've been interested in it ever since Steve took me for a ride in his :icon17:

I kinda want one but I doubt it will happen. Only chance would be some urgent need to get a 4 seater, otherwise my parents would be sooooo pissed if I get rid of the Z so soon. I mostly just want to drive it to see how it is. I've never driven a car with a V8 before.

Car looks great BTW :tup:

Thanks Dan!!! You're the REAL reason why I have this car :D so to you, thank you... hehe.

Also, am glad I got 2012. 2013 and onward, no more Kona. Deep Impact Blue, which is NO WHERE near Kona.... not even sure if it's metallic.

Dan, more pics in my other thread in other forum... won't post it here. I can PM you and Steve link to it if you can't find it.

Driving the 5.0 is awesome though Dan... remember when you and I talked on phone? About how you were comparing the 5.0 to Z and merits/demerits??? You were SPOT on. Even your comment on paint quality... lol.

Blades, sounds like it is time to knock someone up

So funny blades... that's my EXACT situation... or was, I mean. Not sure if you remember, but all it took for me was 20 minutes of test driving the 5.0. I came out going, where do I sign?

Also, I only did the deal because I got for my Z what I paid for it in the first place...

EDIT: one word blades... TORQUE.
