Live axle isnt awesome but your post is just totally incorrect. But please continue with the groundless hate.

Haha, please continue with your groundless idiocy, sir. There's no hate from me since I think the new Mustangs are amazing. But whatever makes you feel better.

Guys just relax already, different strokes for different folks.

Z looks better, and after modding it, I'm quite content! (kind of, always want more power tho...)

I just think stangs look bad...I also like the quasi-exoticism of the Z.

Very good point, different strokes for different folks.

I have received more compliments on my gt 'vert than my 350z. This being said I have a fully functional 67 gt ram air hood, saleen s7 wheels, and 'vert light bar compared to just wheels and a drop on the z.

That gt must pull pretty hard!

The Z has a torque problem that is really getting to me. I'm 100% on the 2011 Sti to fix that though.

It does. I am expecting to be around 400 rwhp and similar numbers for torque n/a when I get my car back wed.

New 5.0 is bad *** for sure. But I don't want to be in the middle of the whole camaro vs mustang BS. Last thing I need is some shirtless hillbilly's kids in an SS yelling at me at a redlight.

Are you implying you wouldnt buy a new 5.0 Stand because some guys in a Camaro might want to run you?

What the hell are you doing in a Z?

How do you feel when rice-a-roni next to you in the Civic revs at you? I bet you feel good you didnt pick that Mustang

First off, I don't own a Z any longer.
Second, yes thats exactly what I'm saying. They have redneck followings I don't care to be associated with. Kind of like Z's with riceboys like you Alberto

You are an imbecile. People that stereotype car owners are stupid. Please go and share your knowledge on whatever new car/forum you drive now.

They either come pre-turbo'ed, like the WRX, Evo, MS3, GTi and STi.... or are Domestic V8s with an endless aftermarket of quality, inexpensive parts and plenty of go fast tricks.
power isn't everything. 350z looks 100x better than all of the cars that you've mentioned. that includes your Mudstain.

p.s. 2011 Mustains aren't bad looking, though.

again, completely subjective.

More compliments in my gt vert than I ever received in my cs 350z.

I guess you live in a redneck area? I don't live in a redneck area and therefore don't run into rednecks. .

Power isn't everything but it's gotta hurt to drive the fastest looking yet slowest sportscar in it's price bracket (the 370z).
