I would test drive it and decide for yourself

I would wait for a Boss 302 instead if you really want the stang or like Red said, get one with Brembos

TerribleONE · 02-11-2013, 12:21 AM

Can I ask why you want the change? if you dont mind losing the sexy lines of the Z for a power bump and on par handling from what I heard (even though I still think its hype) then go for it... however personally as iceagetlc said I could never even consider it unless it was for a GT500

Z370Z011 · 02-11-2013, 12:36 AM

Yeah, if it was a GT500, id be all over that. But since it isn't, it would be (IMO) a downgrade. Like going from a nismo to a regular Z. Or in your case, from a nismo to a regular mustang.

But hey, Whatever make you happy!

they told me id regret a 2 seater and till this day ive proved them all wrong

Your going to drive it, not us, so take the stang for a test drive and get a good feel for it.
GoodLuck with your decision!
(Ps, if i had a nismo id Never sell it

lol)

take a ride around your area and just see how many mustangs are on the road around here every other car seems to be a mustang.in the end its still your choice.

m4a1mustang · 02-11-2013, 08:02 AM

As someone that made the jump from a Z to a 5.0, if you like it, do it. It's a very formidable performance car. Certainly not a downgrade, though some people here seem to think a Nissan is a status symbol.

Mike · 02-11-2013, 08:04 AM

I do have a mustang. I would not choose it over the Z, if I couldn't have both.

Myron_Nismo · 02-11-2013, 11:08 AM

Yeah it's really just the power that's making me want to do it. I drove one with the 3.73 gears and loved the power. But I think after I got used to the power I would start to miss the Z.

Plus the mustang value depreciates so much faster than my car, as you can see by the price of the one I linked lol.

The MSRP isn't really comparable, since Ford prices vehicles with a lot more room for movement.

That mustang would probably cost under $32K new.

lemon-fresh · 02-11-2013, 12:28 PM

Good car, as any member of "Team America!" will tell you. If only it didn't look like a mustang. Maybe 2015 will change things.

Test drive it against a Camaro SS1LE... way more bang for the buck there...
1LE changes everything.

SS_Firehawk · 02-11-2013, 11:18 AM

Maybe add a 4.08's and see if it gives you the warm fuzzy feeling?

Red370 · 02-13-2013, 11:29 AM

I traded mine for a 5.0 and have never looked back, and to be honest, dont miss my Z one bit, the power/torque was just TOO DAMN HIGH. Seriously, do it.

SS_Firehawk · 02-13-2013, 11:38 AM

I would take the $5,000 they lop off what it's really worth and just push for FI.

Scubasubiker · 02-14-2013, 09:56 PM

IMO
1. U have a Nismo.
2. It's a Ford.
3. Plain Jane everyone has one...boring. Even GT 5's are everywhere.
4. Do whatever the f**k you want...u r driving it.

lol1234 · 02-15-2013, 09:16 PM

I would trade a Nismo in for the GT500 but I don't know about trading for the 5.0. It's a good car though, not denying that.
