But the market isnt comprised of enthusiasts buying those cars. Some enthusiasts will buy Gt's in there affordability range due to the Ford racing factor, but overall those cars dont sell for being enthusiast cars... Period. It's more of an american heritage thing and thats a false sense of enthusiasm. To me an enthusiast really knows what they have and enjoyb the car for more reasons than factory location and social acceptance. Most stang and camaro owners know they have a fast v8. thats it.

Thats the truth
I am just going to have to disagree with you there. I have been involved with th Z And Mustang for a long time and both enthusiast groups are about the same. There is more focus on stance and hellaflush with the Z, though.

Well technically the M4A1 is a carbine, not a rifle *nerd noises* You were wrong about one little thing which means I'm right about everything. *nerdgasm*




What I just did to M4a1mustang is essentially what this thread has devolved into.

I started to type carbine at first but didn't want to have to explain what that meant after I remembered I was called an ill educated idiot.

It alright, they are all direct impingement....I say yuck to that.

Anyway, Ford is awesome. Nissan is awesome. The juke looks cool. The mustang is fast. Chevy volts and 90s italian cars like to burst into flames. Never eat sushi in Utah. Am I missing something here? Oh yeah, the GTR is a technical marvel that most of us will never own, and by the time half of us can afford it, none of the japanese techno wizardry is going to work anymore.



From now on, if yall want to continue this thread, lets discuss the merits of the two companies, venues of positive improvement, and just be happy feely because although its entertaining. I know what happens if this kind of bickering goes on here at the370z.com
Also Steve will school you.

Well when the mods get off work they will just lock this thread right up. It's run its course, as they like to say.

I would normally say Steve schooled us, but obviously because of the sequester he is feeling the budget cuts on the education system

I may just get in trouble for this post

ur not disagreeing at all. Cuz you are an enthusiast who likes cars. You dont represent 90% of the stang community. Remember the stang sells 10x more than the Z. The ratio and proportion of enthusiasts is higher in the Z than the population of mustang buyers. But the population of mustang enthusiasts is higher than Z enthusiasts. Thats by default.

You're just disagreeing cuz you don't like the way i worded it, but in fact you're agreeing the the stang enthusiasts are a community. not the stang population of buyers.

I would never own a Cube, but I do appreciate it. I LOVE the Juke though.

However, I know most people are boring and don't like crazy sh!t like I do.
