I just joined this forum like 2 days ago and i've been reading some of the other threads and looking at the z's for sale, but i just can't make a decision on a new car. I've driven a few g35's and i rode in a Z once, but after riding in my friends gt it just seemed so much faster. I have a big V8 now and i'm looking to go more pratical so i've been looking at the Z's. I've always thought it was a beautiful car but i don't know if I will like it over the big V8 sound. Somebody please give me some stories of whooping a Gt's a** or something. Oh yea and my cousin has his big Harley Davidson f-150 and it beats me now and he says with the z i'll never beat him...and if the guy from cali with the yellow turbonectics Z reads this please comment cause i was biding on the car on ebay and then it was gone

with the right mods youll be able to take gts. there are plenty of guys here with mid 12's and lower. and the way i look at it. stangs are dime a dozen and are pretty much a chick car nowadays. zs have a way more exotic look, and its a different class of car. chicks will pay more attention to you in a z then just a stang

I could be wrong but I was under the impression the Z is still faster then the current mustang GT(i assume this since it was faster then the shelby edition from the other thread that was posted)
So maybe it's not ear drum blowing loud, but it is still just as fast if not faster then your "big v8"
so as far as straight line speed is concerned, no big deal. But i do promise you, you will be much happier driving the Z in tight turns then that big "v8 mustang* of yours.
anyhow just my thoughts. If the Z isn't as fast as the Z, I think you will be much happier with the Z. It feels better and looks better.

I think that unless you "need" to buy a new car immediately for transportation you should wait until you have no doubt about what you want. I briefly considered an STI, but once I started giving it some serious thought there was no doubt in my mind about what I just had to have. A Magnetic Black Z.
There will always be faster cars out there, but with a Z you get a car that is faster than 95% of the cars on the street and looks better than 99% of them. No brainer in my opinion...

The Z is a great car, no doubt. But practical? I guess that all depends on what you mean by practical.
If you are more concerned over a cars sound than their performance, better stick with a big V8.

The GT has more torque than the Z.

Not only will you have a decently fast car, but it'll hand the Mustang it's *** in anything that requires turning the steering wheel.
Is this some kind of paradox?

what i meant to say is "if a Z isn't as fast as a mustang"
