I test drove a 2007 Mustang GT 5 speed with 18" polished wheels about two weeks ago. My observations are:
1) Car looks good on the outside, but I wasn't impressed with the inside
2) Guages are small and hard to read, especially in the sunlight with the silver trim around them.
3) The windshield is shorter than the Zs and the hood is long and buldges in the middle making it hard to see things close to the front of the car.
4) The shifter is notchy and the throws are long when compared to the Z.
5) The car feels heavy but actually handles better than I expected, but not as good as the Z.
6) The steering is vague and rather loose.
7) The V8 has a great sound and lots of torque, but because of its weight it doesn't pull off the line as fast as I thought it would. The V8 also has a kick about 3000 rpm.
8) The Mustang also rides good with its long wheelbase.

Overall the Z is the sports car and the Mustang is the grand tourer. The Mustang is a lot of bang for the buck. The Z is the better all round performer. It just depends on what you want.

 

yes, its will be around 18000$ to 20000$
but they did not see my z yet

 

am stell thinking
i like my 350z
it has a nismo exhaust and cooler intake ( it is nothing but good for me )
but i love the mustang exhaust sound
it is amazing
ummmmmmm....
i will think about it again
i dont whant to do some thing stupid
so i will wait tel i get my car back

 

you gonna lose value on the z because of the accident.

 

Simple solution...Drive your Z to the dealer...Take Mustang GT for a real test drive......Get back in your Z and drive it the same way.......Your decission will be clear in one way or the other....That is unless your feelings are purely based on styling and exhaust note instead of driving feel...In that case it sounds like a Mustang GT is in your future....Either way good luck

 

my final decisoin that
i will keep my z and
no one recomend me to trad in my z and get a mustang
all of my friend telling me it is not a good idea
so i change my mind

and if i wanna get another car i will get a mustang shelby

thank you guys

 

Good choice in my book. I had a mustang all be it an older 97. It never gave me any real problems but I enjoy the Z much more. Actually I almost got an 05 before I found my Z. The only thing I miss is the sound.

 

ya i think it is the best choice. i like my car but the reason is the accedent.
so i thought about trade it in and get the mustang but it was not a good discision. ( i love my Z )
u are right i love the sound on the mostang
it is amazing

 

I don't think you're gonna get a good enough deal on the damaged Z to warrant buying a stang. Besides... the Z is a damn sexy car.

You should be able to get a GT Mustang for a lot cheaper than $30k.

 

i dont car about the deal
i will keep my z ( no one recomend the mustang )
it is at the dealer, working on it
its gonna cost about 7000$
they told me there is no major problem but i dont know why its cost that much

 

ya i found alot of cheaper deals
but i changed my mind
thanx man

 

Keep the "Z"!!!!!

This is a "Z" forum right looked like some of you are secretly drooling over the Mustang GT
